This ship is not really chinese. It's registered to the cook islands, seems to be owned by an indian company, and the captain is georgian. It turns out that the nation of origin doesn't have absolute control over all the actions of its citizens.

Though if a chinese ship gets seized in international waters, that would be convenient 'precedent' for china to start seizing other ships in international waters in the south china sea

From the article:

In a statement, the police in Finland said the authorities had boarded the Eagle S tanker in Finnish waters.

So no international waters in this case. In fact there are no international waters in the Baltic Sea ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/... )
