That’s not what the previous article said. Crap now i gotta go look it up.

Ah. https://www.dagens.com/world/danish-navy-intercepts-chinese-ship-linked-to-sabotage

The ship’s captain is reportedly a russian citizen

So- ? Either it wasn’t true, or it was and the Chinese ship would rather lie about it.

Maybe both are true and he has both russian and chinese citizenship

It’s not uncommon for ships to have a captain that commands and stays with the ship and a pilot that is familiar with and helps navigate regional waters, who takes over navigation and issues orders in the areas that they are qualified to operate.

I’m not saying that’s what happened here - I don’t know and haven’t seen any information that would support that idea - but it could explain the discrepancy.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
