China cautions Finland and Estonia over pipeline 'sabotage' probe

The Hong Kong-registered vessel NewNew Polar Bear was in the vicinity of two different Baltic Sea pipelines when they were damaged earlier in October, and has now become the focus of the police investigation.

The Chinese government has cautioned Finland and Estonia about an ongoing investigation into damage to undersea cables in the Baltic Sea, which authorities have described as 'sabotage'.

It comes after Finnish police revealed that a Hong Kong-registered ship called the NewNew Polar Bear was sailing in the vicinity of the Finland-Estonia gas and communications pipeline when it was badly damaged in October.
