Has any of these wanna be detective Clouseaus articulated a plausible reason for China to do this? It’s means and motive, right? Cause I can’t for the life of me imagine one.

This whole thing is giving “what if the Taliban attack our small town in Ohio” vibes. Just pure paranoia and reactionary brainworms.

The ship did damage a pipeline and a fibre optic cable by dragging their anchor for no reason in the middle of the sea. Most of the investigation is against the company and the ship in particular, not China as a whole. They need to look over their routines if nothing else.

It isn’t like nothing has happened, and China has been cooperating with the investigation.
