From an excellent piece by James Corera and Jakub Janda:

'Once could be an accident, and twice might be a coincidence. But three instances look like a trend that we shouldn’t ignore or tolerate, especially since we know malign actors like Beijing and Moscow also have the capability to disrupt our critical infrastructure through prepositioned malware.

'Since China has persistently breached the same convention in the South China Sea, its disregard for the interests of other countries in the Yi Peng 3 case comes as no surprise.

'A refusal to comply with international investigative norms also encourages other states to act similarly.

'These incidents show how the Russia-China axis is increasingly working in sync to the peril of the rules-based liberal order'.
