Yemen government says it raised Houthis' alleged use of Chinese tech with Beijing

The Yemeni government has spoken with Beijing about the Houthis' alleged attempts to utilise Chinese-made technology for weapons, a Yemeni minister said on Wednesday, as the two sides' long-running civil war escalates. "The Chinese are partners and we have discussed with them about, you know, the use of dual products," Foreign Minister Afrah al-Zouba said in response to an AFP question about reports the Iran-aligned group was trying to secure Chinese components to help manufacture weapons.
