uhh, my take on that story was that they could not ID the sub's country of origin.
And as i just read the article fully, maybe you should too.

The speculation comprises only the specific type (Han-class) of the submarine, not the country of origin.

Interesting since the washington post seems to be one of the only news sources that has pinpointed the sub out to be chinese. What great intel they have to tell which type of sub it was.
