The South China Morning Post published on 28 December 2024 an article titled "China's Faith in Djibouti Is Paying Off, But Could Red Sea Crisis Muddy the Waters?" by Enoch Wong.

A Houthi-created crisis that continues for an extended period of time could have negative consequences for Chinese investments in the region.
