STOCKHOM: A Chinese ship linked to the
recent severing of two undersea cables and anchored off Denmark's coast since November 19, departed Saturday (Dec 21), Sweden's coast guard said.
Sections of
two telecom cables were cut on November 17 and 18 in Swedish territorial waters of the Baltic Sea.
Suspicions have been directed at a Chinese ship -
the Yi Peng 3 - which according to ship tracking sites had sailed over the cables around the time they were cut....
Swedish police on Thursday confirmed that they were going onboard the ship as observers.
"Representatives of the Chinese authorities are conducting investigations aboard the vessel and have invited the Swedish authorities to take part in an observer role," police said adding it would not be taking any "investigative measures". CNA
The whole incident smelt of European shit all over. The Chinese ship was not the only ship in the area. Many ships were doing the same activities but none was arrested. Why only the ship was singled out and arrested? Why naval ships from 4 countries, Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Germany were involved to force the Chinese ship into their harbour for investigation?
The reasons given were general and applicable to all the ships in the area at the same time and place. This is an outright harassment against Chinese ship and an attempt to humiliate China. Is China going to let this provocation go unchallenged? The Mickey Mouse European states are likely under instruction from the American terrorists. They must be made to pay for their unfriendly and discriminatory acts against China. At least full compensation for time and cost for being held up for more than a month, and a formal apology for this rash act.
China must act and be tough to these Mickey Mouse or else more such incidents would be repeated against China and Chinese ships. Either China makes a strong stand to end such nonsense or continue to be harassed by Mickey Mouse states. It is no difference from the arrest of Meng Wanzhou or the numerous Chinese nationals in the US and UK. It is all politically motivated. Period.
The most likely culprit, and everyone knows who, is smiling quietly on the side line. Think who blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. Is this similar? Another false flag incident by you know who.
