Somali piracy resurgence tests China's Gulf of Aden escort mission

Piracy attacks off Somalia have reached their highest level since 2013, testing China's decade-long naval escort mission in the Gulf of Aden. The uptick coincides with US Navy assets diverted to operations against Iran and Indian naval deployments elsewhere, reducing international counter-piracy presence. This marks a reversal of the region's long decline in piracy and could threaten commercial shipping lanes.
