Headline: FROM SABOTAGE TO SUBTERFUGE ⟩ China’s Mock Report Presented to Estonian Authorities Clouds the Balticconnector Incident Investigation

Short Summary: China presented a mock report to Estonian authorities challenging sabotage findings in the Balticconnector pipeline incident, introducing alternative explanations and complicating the investigation.

Chinese authorities have presented a 'mock report' disputing the official findings of sabotage in the Balticconnector undersea pipeline incident, introducing conflicting narratives that complicate the ongoing international investigation.

Evidence

Quotes

Estonia’s Ministry of the Interior and the Defence Minister Margus Tsahkna said the delivery of the Chinese report to Estonian authorities, together with a public campaign, aims to further muddy the waters around the pipeline incident.

The Chinese report ... disputes key aspects of the Estonian findings, alleging alternative explanations and contradicting the timeline in the official investigation.

The Chinese document questions the submarine and ship traffic records and suggests the pipeline rupture could have resulted from natural causes, such as seismic activity, instead of sabotage.
