Avast ye scurvy dogs! Zhang Jun, China's representative to the United Nations, be bashing the U.S. and other landlubber countries for their brutish 'military operations against Yemen.' The lad claimed such deeds be raisin' tensions in the seven seas! Arrr!

In a humorous twist, the language of a 17th century pirate could be used to summarize the situation between China, the United States, and the multilateral coalition in Yemen. Arrr, mateys! China be pushin' back against the strikes on them Houthi rebels in Yemen, sayin' it be escalatin' the Israel-Hamas war. They reckon these strikes won't be stoppin' them rebels from attackin' ships in the Red Sea, ya see?
Zhang Jun, China's representative to the United Nations, be sayin' that them strikes on Yemen be "regrettable" and only be causin' damage and civilian deaths. He also be callin' the U.S. "contradictory and irresponsible." Ye can almost hear the pirate accent, can't ye?
"Arrr, what a shame it be to see these countries launchin' military operations in Yemen, causin' harm to the infrastructure and innocent folk. And it be makin' the Red Sea waters less safe for merchant ships, it be. Instead, these military actions be hinderin' progress in Yemen," Zhang be sayin'. "I doubt these military measures will achieve anythin' worthwhile."
He goes on to say, "The tensions in the Red Sea be a result of the Palestine-Israel conflict, mateys. It be a naive hope to think the conflict won't spread while ye let it drag on. It be foolish and irresponsible to call for an end to spillover effects while stirrin' up more confrontations and tensions."
Arrr, mates! Zhang be sayin' all this after the U.S. launched a strike on them Houthi-controlled radar facility. The U.S. Central Command be sayin' it be a "follow-on action" to the previous strike. It be the second strike in two days against them Houthi rebels, ye see?
These strikes be in response to the Houthi attacks on both commercial and military vessels in the Red Sea. The U.S., along with the United Kingdom and support from other countries, be takin' action to protect their ships.
Arrr, that be the situation in Yemen, me hearties. Let's hope this conflict be resolved soon, for the sake of peace on the high seas!
