Considering the cable was likely cut by just dragging the anchor over the seafloor, there’s not much to find. It’s perfectly plausible that the crew consists of a bunch of idiots.
It isn’t even a proper investigation as I read it. There were Chinese officials supervising the activities.
Though I wonder what they could find, after the crew had ample time to get prepared, and to get rid of whatever evidence they might have had.
But they did drag the anchor for 100 miles (link WSJ). Dragging an anchor for 100 miles would’ve been very noticeable for any crewmember, experts say.
Sure, but can you prove that they were not just incompetent?
You can blame the captain personally for negligence, sure, but unless he has instructions from an intelligence agency open on his desk, you can’t prove anything political.
