They are graveyards, and so must not be disturbed. But do the ChiComs care about that? Of course not.

They ought to, since it was British (and American and other Western) sailors who defeated the Japanese and saved China from a fate worse than the Holocaust, if Nanking was any indication.

It would like go to your local graveyard and digging up graves and stealing the brass off the confines

“what is the problem here? “

The same problem your recent land purchase at Mananas battleground ran into. It’s a war grave site and memorial.

Ever hear of Rest In Peace? Acronym, RIP

Technically, sunken naval ships remain the property of the country they served. As many are saying, they are war grave sites and must not be disturbed.

After the war there were tons of ammunition and supplies dumped. maybe, maybe not? evidence besides two shells?

In May 2023, local residents obtained video of the vessel unloading what appeared to be a large cannon, dripping with mud, at a Malaysian scrapyard...
This was in the text.   Looks like it was one of the cannons from the HMS Prince of Wales.

They are considered war graves and are still the property of that government.

A single Mk 48 could solve this problem. Permanently.
