China’s ambassador to Sweden, Gui Congyou, “has embarked on a ‘truth’ crusade against the country’s media since taking office in August 2017”, RSF said in its statement. “Diplomatic missions have no say in the editorial content of media in their host country,” Erik Halkjaer, the head of RSF Sweden said.
Cedric Alviani, the head of RSF’s East Asia bureau, said China’s attacks on Swedish media “reveal the unrestrained attitude with which Beijing is now trying to impose its censorship outside its borders”.
