China has sent its naval hospital ship Silk Road Ark to the South Pacific and Latin America under Mission Harmony 2025, marking its first overseas deployment since commissioning. The move comes as Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro strengthens ties with Beijing, even showcasing a Huawei phone gifted by Xi Jinping.
