    I don’t know what happened, but also the claim being made isn’t baseless. It’s clearly based on there being a sub there before, then no sub but a response to something using many cranes.

    I do agree it shows Western (and all generally) media really try to dig up stories, and they try to be the first to report something. It’s sad, but saying that isn’t the same as saying it’s baseless. There is evidence of a sub and an accident at the exact spot the sub was. Check out these photos and compare them. They’re the exact same spot where the cranes are now. Does it prove that the sub sank? No. It is evidence of it, or some other accident, though. You can ponder it for yourself.

      Again, the question is what makes any of this news worthy in any way, and why it’s being reported as front page news in western media. Like yeah maybe cranes are there for the sub, or maybe they’re there for a completely different reason, like refitting the dock. There are plenty of other perfectly logical explanations here, so the leap is in no way warranted. If there was a satellite picture of cranes lifting the actual sub out, yeah that would news.

      This is just a nonsense story to get people in the west excited that there a possibility of some mishap having happened in China. You would never see a story like this printed about the US in a mainstream newspaper. This is world weekly news style reporting.
