Yeah and this time they won't let them get away. According to Finnish Minister of Defence: "The authorities in the Baltic Sea region have learned from the mistakes of the Baltic Connector investigation and are prepared, if necessary, to stop a ship in the Baltic Sea if it is suspected of being involved in damaging communications cables."[1]

And it looks like according to marinetraffic.com that the Yi Peng 3 is indeed at full stop surrounded by at least 3 Danish navy vessels.

Not confirmed by any mainstream newspaper. The danish forces only confirm, that they are there, but nothing more.
20 hours later they are cited that they cannot board without China's approval. Legally uncharted grounds whether they could or could not. Looks they take the cautious side for the time being.
worth noting that twitter account is not the most trustworthy or independent.
What have they posted that was wrong?
It would be useful to have a site that logs all plausible issues of this kind, at arm's length from Wikipedia editors.

Kind of a "Who watches the watchers?" type of thing.

If that list became popular it would be weaponised by military intelligence.
Why would that not be prone to the same issue you think Wikipedia faces?
