A fishing ship is cheap (he) for any developed nation state. Delaying one is not a meaningful deterrent. Forbidding Chinese ships in those waters would be, but no one is quite ready for that kind of commercial disruption.


Provided that China actually knew about it; this is what Putin would like us to believe but I doubt it as there is absolutely no benefit for them.


A Chinese billionaire is losing money on a ship that isn't generating revenue. Either they made a deal directly with the tsar that is worth that cost or they were ordered by the emperor to take the hit.
