This is a classic micro-aggression that the CCP loves to do - incrementally increase pressure in order to gradually move the line without the wider public being fully-aware that it's being moved. Each incident doesn't seem like much, but when you accumulate them over years, it adds up. The goal is to slowly normalize their envelopment.

As for the speedboat incident, you can see the CCP is itching for any possible trigger to justify more noose-tightening.
