Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

The Swedish government has accused China of denying its prosecutors access to the Yi Peng 3, a Chinese vessel linked to the sabotage of two Baltic Sea undersea cables. The cables were severed in November, coinciding with the ship's movements in Swedish waters. While China claims to have cooperated with investigations involving regional authorities, Swedish officials express frustration over the lack of access for their prosecutors. This incident raises concerns amid wider claims of sabotage connected to geopolitical tensions, particularly regarding Russia’s actions in Ukraine.
