Houthis threaten Pakistan with missiles if it joins Saudi Arabia

[bafxet]

Punching above their weight

 

[Ali_Baba]

It's not just money, people forget Pakistan security cooperation with KSA spans well over half a century.

For better, or worse, both countries have joined themselves at the hip regardless of what people may think of the Yemen war(the concerns being because Yemen/Houthi's was the only country in the Muslim world who actually supported Gaza materially).

There is some expectation from Saudi, both formally via Makkah and informally that Pakistan cannot help but get involved now in Yemen.

Guys, why do you have to bring up China?

We are merely spectators of these "games," and do not participate in the performance!

Given its other identity as a permanent member of the UN Security Council (P5), China will make measured statements. That is all.

China is a economic world actor, not spectator.

Not only Iran, but even for Yemen houthi. For all GCC.

And for KSA military budget.

Yes. China is indeed a participant in the global economy, but we do not wish to get involved in these unrelated wars. When there is peace, we deal with peacetime economic issues; when there is war, we deal with wartime economic issues.

Unless you intend to start World War III, please do not attempt to drag China into the war.

then why China sell military hardware to KSA, chemicals for Iran missiles fuel, and pieces for Iran drones? if China doesnt intend to start WW3.

Wartime economics—this is a concept you should seriously try to understand.

China does not directly supply weapons to the belligerents in these conflicts. The arms sales to Saudi Arabia took place when the country was not in a state of war.

Within an industrial system, many materials are interchangeable between military and civilian applications; it all depends on how they are used.

A kitchen knife can be used for cooking, or it can be used to kill. You cannot ban me from selling kitchen knives simply because someone uses one to commit murder. If someone uses a knife I sold to kill another person, do you then regard me as an accomplice to their crime?

During the Russia-Ukraine war, all warring parties have imported large quantities of drone components from China. We do not take sides. Under Chinese national standards, these items are classified as civilian recreational products.

China has important equities with both, they have backed off

China is just enjoying watching US dig its own grave. US talks about pivoting to the East but can't help themselves with wars in the middle east.

China will sell whatever to whomever, what they do with it is their own problem as every war has chinese components as china is a manufacturing/industrial power

I have already addressed this point. China’s arms sales to Saudi Arabia took place while the country was at peace.

As a matter of national policy, China generally does not sell weapons directly to both sides of a conflict—unless it has explicitly taken a side (supporting or opposing a specific party). However, such instances usually involve China's immediate neighbors; because these situations are closely tied to China's own national security, we are compelled to adopt a clear stance.

But,
A certain reality does exist. Since China typically imposes no political or resale restrictions when selling arms, there are indeed cases where belligerent nations purchase Chinese weapons through third parties during wartime.

You are not alone in holding this view.

In fact, many analysts in China also share and support this perspective. From a certain angle, China and the United States do indeed cooperate on many occasions.

For instance:

The Russia-Ukraine war. In reality, this involves a three-way dynamic among China, the US, and Russia; the true target was not Ukraine, but Europe.

Of course, this is a view held by only a very small number of people. However, judging by current data, Europe has indeed fared the worst as a result of the Russia-Ukraine war.

That said, this perspective is highly controversial and difficult to prove. It is probably best not to delve any further into this topic.

Yemen Non Houthi + Saudi Arabia + Pakistani + Intel and logistics support from Israel + USA + UAE + Turkey vs Houthis

Thats something shows how much resiliency Houthis have ….
