It was crossing right on time for the interruptions, a Russian officer was on board, it slowed down while crossing, no other ships were slowing down in that area during that time (rulingnout headwinds) - it cannot get much clearer. China is now participating in hybrid warfare against Europe (unless they present stronger evidence against this assumption)

Geez, I'm glad you're not war minister. It's a Chinese registered ship with a Russian captain.

If a terrorist crashes a truck with Portuguese plates into the US embassy in Berlin, would that mean Portugal's declared war against the USA?

Yes, this is what I'm saying, but with less words.

But look around (even in these comments) and look at how many people are thinking "Chinese act of war!!!11!!"

Yes… A lot of them really need have it spelt out, twice, in large clear type.

That's really not all you are saying, and the difference is important. Maybe not to you, though.

Then, elaborate please, Jochen, what's the important difference?

As far as I can tell, you're both saying the same thing: that registering a ship in China does not mean China is responsible for that ship's actions. If you've got a different point to make, please make it clear.
