The ship is actually a British ship that changed it ownership to a company in Hong Kong very recently. The company is only created in Feb 2024, it does not employ anyone, has no business operations (thus no taxes) and it sole asset is this ship. So it is Chinese owned, but not really.
Though it does show there is a real business demand in pretending to be a Chinese ship these days.
