Summary
Taiwan’s Coast Guard intercepted the Cameroon-registered container ship Shunxin39, suspected of damaging an undersea communication cable northeast of New Taipei’s Yeliu.
The ship was brought closer to port for inspection.
Prosecutors will investigate the incident to determine accountability and potential compensation for the cable damage.
Who cares? China will just lie about it no matter what.
As a finn I’m pretty interested. There’s a huge difference between whether ships are intercepted in international or national waters.
China’s definition of what is their territorial waters is completely unrelated to internationally accepted borders. If you are unaware of the last ~10 years of territorial bullshit in the seas outside of China I cannot summarize it in an internet comment, please read some articles and watch some documentaries. China’s behavior is shocking, murderous, unhinged, and divorced from reality.
Edit: also as a Finn you should be proud of your correct usage of whether instead of weather because English is stupid and you wrote it correctly.
