China has expressed its willingness to engage with international stakeholders to ensure the safety of undersea infrastructure. This statement from the foreign ministry follows concerns over the integrity of fiber-optic cables in the Baltic Sea.

Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian addressed queries on a Chinese vessel seen in Danish waters, amidst investigations by Finland and Sweden into disrupted data cables.

Lin clarified a lack of specific information on the vessel's activities. Meanwhile, the Danish military closely monitors the stationary Chinese ship Yi Peng 3 without a direct link to the recent cable incidents.
