Yes, yes, then they observe repairs, duration ect, and come up with a plan for grow to delay further, so they can then use the information in the coming war.
Here's an idea: execute the crew, seize the vessels, use loyal Chinese speakers for a mock return journey, monitor the radio (eg. do counter intelligence).
Keep those executions up, see how often it happens after you execute a few boats worth of officers. If that doesn't work, blockade the Strait of Malaca, the path China imports their oil by.
Oh, you can't do any of this because you outsourced all your manufacturing to China in the 1990s push for privatization screwing the local working class over?
Capitalism is dangerous for national security.
Ahh, muricans.
If you're fine with Luigi Mangione, you should be fine with executing foriegn spies who want worse for your Nation than even health insurance CEOs.
Cable cutting ship full of spy equipment
It comes down to the fundamental question; do you think a nation has to use deadly force to protect itself. If you say no - (including what Luigi Mangione did), then you're the reason billionaires rule with impunity, because there's no consequences to defrauding the nation, to spying on it, to plotting it's demise, or attacking it's infrastructure.
People need to understand, if you want to protect democracy and freedom, you have to be willing to kill for it. That's all that politics comes down to, where that force is directed. You say: No, kill no one, then you will not have a nation as soon as an invading army knows this weakness.
"No" means you do not want to have a nation. That's a pipedream.
Summarily executing people over circumstantial evidence is also bad for national security. Glad you aren't involved in international geopolitics.

Plot twist, it's donald trump's lemmy account.
Way too well written and coherent
FACTS!
Not a single sentence ALL CAPS FOR EMPHASIS? Can't be.
It's really not circumstantial. They back and forth over specific areas the cables are, and do this over multiple cables until they break.
They go to those areas specifically to do this.
Yeaah, I don't know about the rest of you but this is not the world I want to live in.

The police quick response unit stormed the ship wielding guns. They were willing to kill and luckily they didn't have to. There's absolutely zero need to execute the crew. That's an insane thing to suggest.
They were enlisted in espionage, it's the ONLY way to respond if you have any respect for western freedom/democracy.
Do you want a foriegn invasion or corruption of western democracy, freedoms, rights? No, of course not. Do you have the people responsible caught redhanded, yes. Do you want to send a message to never do this again, or that there's swift and harsh consequences. Yes. Death is a good deterrent.
