A delegation from the Yemeni Houthi Ansarullah movement has traveled to China to hold talks with senior officials over the conflict in the impoverished country exacerbated by the Saudi military aggression, PressTV reported.

At the invitation of the Chinese government, Houthi spokesman Mohammad Abdulsalam senior figures such as Hamza al-Houthi and Mahdi al-Mashat arrived in Beijing on Thursday to discuss resolving the conflict in Yemen with China's support and to help build relations.

China has consistently made calls that the crisis in Yemen, as well as Syria, should be resolved through political dialogue rather than military means.

A delegation representing Yemen’s Houthi rebel group announced this morning that they visited China for three days and have met several Chinese officials, after the Houthi spokesperson Mohamed Abdelsalam was sent an official invitation.

Pro-Houthi Yemeni news outlet Al-Massirah said the delegation today concluded a three-day visit to China in which the majority of the discussion with Chinese officials was based on the current war raging in Yemen.

The Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry has called for a cessation of hostilities in the country and to work towards a political solution to the conflict, while the Houthi delegation thanked Beijing for its support.

The Houthi delegation met Department of West Asian and North African Affairs Director-General Deng Li to discuss the humanitarian, military and political situation in Yemen.

Yemen has been locked in a bitter battle between Houthi rebels allied with forces loyal to ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh and government forces led by President Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi, along with local tribes and resistance forces backed by the Saudi-led coalition. Nearly 60,000 people have been killed as a result of the conflict and more than three million have been displaced.

China should intervene militarily and help these guys defeat terror arabia.
 
China is more willing to act as a negotiator as opposed to an intervenor.
I know, that's the smart thing to do as well but wouldn't it be nice if some world power actually took the fight to the saudis, who are the root cause of all islamic terror on the planet ?

China in the coming decades will close the gap with the US, you will have enough force projection capability to take the war to anyone. Imagine, China bombs the crap out of saudi arabia and finishes wahhabism once and for all.

Why do that?
China is not stupid to be the world police.

You never know, once you're as powerful as the US, you might have to share some anti terror duties with Uncle Sam.
 
This kind of thing should be handed over to US to deal with. China is more willing to use diplomatic means.
US will continue their old ways.
Their entire nation is hijacked by military industry.
No matter what Trump has said in his America first discourses, the interest groups that control US will continue waging wars around the world and regular Muricos will suffer as ever.

I understand your view from a humanitarian perspective, 60000 death and counting, women & kids loosing their homes, complete economic collapse, and that's why China wish peace for Yemen, can act as a broker if situation allows.

But it's not China's fight. KSA is not an enemy, in fact it's opposite, a close economic partner on a broad spectrum spanning from oil trade to global financial investments (read about sovereign wealth funds from GCC and China, see how deep their ties are). Even the Saudi Strategic Missile Force is built with Chinese SRBM/IRBM, not to mention more conventional weaponry. In this war, KSA also suffers human and economic losses.

Let's hope China can mediate at least a truce, and a win-win deal good for both sides.
