The article is paywalled, so I don’t know if they elaborate more on this; I’m just responding to your comment.

I’m pretty sure these countries aren’t beloved allies of each other, right? China presumably could politely ask Iran, who’d have to weigh their priorities, and the Houthis might just keep launching rockets anyway, they aren’t exactly a branch of Iran’s military or anything.

None of the groups projecting Iran's interests in the region are a branch of Iran's military or anything. Not the Houthis. Not Hezbollah. Not Hamas.

It works better for Iran that way.

Yes, Houthis might just ignore them and keep shooting <checks notes> Iranian made rockets delivered to them by Iran.

I’m sure Iran has sort of “priced in” the cost of doing this sort of stuff via proxy instead of directly, and part of that cost is that the proxies don’t always target exactly what you want.
