In 2008, the United Nations passed a resolution calling on all countries to help patrol the waters off Somalia to protect the sea lanes. In ten years, China escorted over 6,000 commercial vessels, half of which are foreign-owned or carrying a cargo of the United Nations World Food Program. China, as a responsible great power, has the capacity, the will and the obligation to provide collective security protection.
