Have they? Infowars is notorious for getting things very, very wrong. I notice no mention from infowars on why these Chinese Ships are in the region or the identity of all of them? This is very easy to find and shows that infowars is only going for the sensationalist headline. The Chinese Navy vessels are part of the international anti-piracy mission off Somalia, Gulf of Aden and Red Sea. They are simply relying on a sighting in the Red Sea that simply could be part of a convoy escort or convoy escort pick up?

The current vessels on the anti-piracy mission.

Last year one of the Chinese vessels of the then anti-piracy task force visited Israel on a goodwill visit.

China has reportedly sent its “Jinggangshan” amphibious dock landing ship to the coast of Syria. In case this information is confirmed, it will offer proof that China has changed its attitude towards the local conflicts with the involvement of the US. It is possible that soon China will start, like Russia, using its warships to demonstrate its presence in the given region or for the allocation of political support, or for supplying necessary items to its allies which are subjected to pressure from the West, expert with the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies Vasily Kashin says.
