Summary
China expressed willingness to cooperate with Sweden’s investigation into the severing of two Baltic Sea data cables on November 17-18, near where a Chinese-flagged vessel, Yi Peng 3, was sighted.
Sweden has formally requested China’s collaboration and asked the ship to move to Swedish waters for inspection.
The cables, linking Finland-Germany and Sweden-Lithuania, have been repaired. Authorities from Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, and Germany are investigating, with Germany suspecting sabotage.
Russia dismissed accusations of involvement as “absurd.” China stated it is in active communication with Sweden.
Indeed, quite interesting. I read the OP article and remembered that initially there was more information, it made me think something had changed behind the scenes.
