CNA Insider, a multinational news channel owned by Singapore's state-owned public broadcaster, posted on 6 April 2024 a nine-minute video titled "Why China's Navy Isn't Intervening in Red Sea Houthi Attacks."
The video points out that PLA Navy ships, although they are assigned in the Gulf of Aden for anti-piracy duty, have not engaged in efforts to end Houthi attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. One Chinese commentator said China prefers to emphasize political communication and dialogue.
