China Is Turning the Red Sea Into a New Security Front
China is expanding its security presence in the Red Sea, according to a new analysis from the Middle East Forum. The region, already strained by Houthi attacks on shipping and Western naval operations, is now being framed as a growing arena of Chinese strategic interest, raising concerns in Washington and among regional partners about Beijing's long-term military and commercial ambitions there.
Why now: Ongoing Red Sea shipping insecurity and great-power rivalry have put China's regional role in focus.
