China's regime, despite repeated warnings from Washington, is helping the Yemen-based militia try to kill American sailors.
"Providing satellite data that is being used to identify U.S. and other ships in the Red Sea for missile strikes appears to be part of a deal between Beijing and the Houthis that would end attacks on Chinese shipping." — Bill Gertz, Washington Times, April 18, 2025.
President Donald Trump should invoke the Trading With the Enemy Act of 1917 and end trade and investment ties with China. China's regime, by its actions and its words, is America's enemy.
"We have to stop China before they sink an American ship." — Blaine Holt, retired U.S. Air Force brigadier general, to Gatestone, April 2025.
"We can confirm the reporting that Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. (CGSTL) is directly supporting Iran-backed Houthi terrorist attacks on U.S. interests," State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said on April 17th at her regular press briefing
Specifically, CGSTL has been providing targeting data and probably raw satellite imagery to the Houthis for their attacks on U.S. Navy vessels in the Red Sea.
China did not issue a clear official denial of the State Department charge.
By now, one thing is clear: China's regime, despite repeated warnings from Washington, is helping the Yemen-based militia try to kill American sailors.
The Trump administration should designate the Chinese regime as an enemy and impose costs accordingly.
