Subject: Re: WH ask for Chin's Help with Persky Iran
The worst China could do is say 'no'.

But they do have some interest in keeping the shipping lanes open. So they might ask the cargo ships be exempt. They wouldn't care if an Arleigh-Burke was attacked, but those can take care of themselves.

The Houthis aren't shootng at Russian and Chinese ships. Why do you think that is?
