China condemns Swedish demands: Discrimination
Sweden’s decision to introduce a requirement for a negative covid test for travelers from China discriminates against Chinese citizens. The Chinese embassy writes this in an email to TT.
“We understand that Sweden takes the necessary prevention and control measures, but we oppose measures that discriminate against specific groups,” writes embassy spokesperson Yan Zihao.
The temporary requirement applies from Saturday and three weeks ahead. This includes adults and children over the age of twelve.
Swedish citizens and EU citizens are exempt, as are persons with a residence permit in Sweden or permanent residence in the EU.
The restrictions lack scientific support, writes Yan Zihao.
“We firmly oppose these measures and ask the Swedish authorities to correct these incorrect measures,” concludes the spokesperson.
