BRUSSELS — As the investigation into damage to Baltic Sea critical infrastructure continues, Finland’s Minister of European Affairs Anders Adlercreutz said it’s hard to believe sabotage to the undersea gas pipeline was accidental — or that it happened without Beijing’s knowledge.
“I’m not the sea captain. But I would think that you would notice that you’re dragging an anchor behind you for hundreds of kilometers,” Adlercreutz said in an interview Thursday in Brussels. “I think everything indicates that it was intentional. But of course, so far, nobody has admitted to it.”
So… despite all the seriousness, I have to ask. The name of the ship is NewNew Polar Bear?
What happened to the New Polar Bear? And the Polar Bear?
So, I can’t easily find the name of the ship in Chinese, but it could possibly be a translation error during naming? New New is xīng xīng in pingying (romanized phonetic Chinese), which is also the same spelling as star… If whoever did the translation was bad at it and did it solely off of the phonetics or romanized spelling.
so… it’s Star Polar Bear? Huh. There goes a good joke. thanks for the information.
Or… well, on the ship itself it’s spelled New New, which is a lot saner and funnier than Newnew.
So I guess we know who used Google translate?
If they also had a penchant for dragging anchors for hundreds of kilometers, I think we can make a few educated guesses as to their fate.
Sabotage is by definition not accidental.
China want a war that they can’t win? I really don’t see the master plan of China behind that or why someone with Chinese roots would do it on their own agenda…
Really interesting how the NATO will respond to that if this turns out to be a direct sabotage by the China and what the reason of that could look like.
I really don’t see… …why someone with Chinese roots would do it
Tankies hate the West. Psychotic nationalists are capable of all sorts of dumb.
Delusional, like Putin. Also, they blew up this whole ballon posturing as a superpower, their national pride is dependent on it. Of course, it will pop one day, but now they are too committed to turn back
NATO? absolutely nothing, too worried about nuclear war, they will say “wtf don’t do that next time” and move on with their day
An Axis is forming.
