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.
