The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all

Well given the specific response I guess they think it’s in a Chinese lab somewhere being dismantled, better keep a close eye on the ISS just in case

Yeah, I did some research on it. It looks like it was a remote sensor station, about the size of 2 computer desks shoved together. Still very mysterious, but my first thought was Abyss or Sphere.

Yeah, these observatories are basically steel frames with a bunch of sensor equipment strapped to them.
If it was a submarine, its unlikely to be an accident. A submarine wouldn't come that close to the bottom in normal operations so it could accidentally hit it, though the shredded cable doesn't really fit a theft either. It would likely be a clean cut if that were the case.
So its quite possible that some big sea creature came by and ripped it off. In which case its probably within a couple hundred meters, they'd just never find it in the gloom.

They've had stuff like that in China/Japan for ages - I believe at least one or more of the major Canon factories (cameras) doesn't even have any seats and the computer doesn't just monitor, it bleeps at you if you are caught walking too slowly.
In one way its nothing new, offices have had micro-management bosses that are pushy for ever, but yeah when you can't get free even going to the toilet and listening right into every conversation - yeah - that's going to breed a lot of resentment and fear. Especially in a work environment where, in most countries and most jobs, there are more applicants than jobs and thus any small excuse can easily be boosted up to being fired/let go/no renewed contract/paycuts
