Twice in the past year, Chinese-flagged vessels have almost certainly severed subsea cables on the Baltic seafloor by dredging their anchors for long distances, European investigators believe. Quietly, sources close to the inquiries have suggested that the vessels may have acted at the direction of Russian intelligence.

Just for arguments sake, why is this not considered an act of war? Why is it not feasible to place navy in the area that is authorized to sink any foreign ships acting suspiciously? Chinussia will either have to admit they engage in covert ops against the west and NATO or have their assets destroyed without being able to complain about it.
