"Maritime intl law" le clown lol
The ship did not flee into the high seas. It was escorted by multiple coastguard and navy ships of NATO countries (including Danish) through Danish territorial waters and was only asked to stop
right after it exited Danish territorial waters. It sure seems like they deliberately created a situation where China bears the responsibility for investigating when they could have easily stopped the ship inside Danish waters and had free rein for the "full investigation" that their media is now claiming China is obstructing them from.
Also, a total of 19 investigators (mostly maritime specialists) from NATO countries, 9 Germans, 6 Swedes, 3 Finns, and 1 Dane, boarded the ship for 5 hours alongside Chinese representatives. What further insight and expertise can a Swedish politician add over the 19 maritime specialists that would warrant turning the ship back (when the crew has already been stuck on for over a month) just so the said Swedish politician can do his own investigation and interviews?
