Some ships in the Red Sea have declared themselves 'all Chinese,' seemingly in hopes of avoiding Houthi attacks

• Ships in the Red Sea appear to be trying to avoid Houthi attacks by declaring themselves Chinese.
• They've started switching their AIS trackers to say their crews are "ALL CHINESE."
• China has been critical of the war in Gaza, and pushed back against US and UK strikes on the Houthis.

Several cargo ships and tankers in the Red Sea have been broadcasting that their crew is fully Chinese, seemingly hoping the affiliation with Beijing will persuade Yemeni rebels not to attack.
