This is the 2nd time China did this in that Baltic isn't it? Both times look intentional.. maybe don't allow Chinese ships in the Baltic?

No it isn't.

Both of the two Chinese registries are open, pretty much anyone can register ships there. It's a bit like the .tv domain — if you see something.tv you can't assume that it's a company in the country Tuvalu.

Look at the nationality of the captain and the beneficial owner instead.

Right. So they might need some motivation to change that.

what are you implying?

how do you intend to "motivate" a sovereign country?

Inform them of consequences if they don't make your, hopefully reasonable, changes.

Consequences can range from inconvenient to existential.

Imperialist behaviour won't get you anywhere with a country as large as China.
