Beijing slams offensive Swedish TV show

The Foreign Ministry strongly protested on Monday that a recent Swedish TV show insulted China, and demanded Swedish station SVT take immediate measures to eliminate the adverse effects.

The SVT anchor maliciously used very vulgar language against China and the Chinese people, which has incited discrimination, bias and provocation against China and other ethnic groups, and is a clear breach of journalistic ethics, said Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang.

The program aired on Friday and cast China in a negative light following a recent incident regarding Swedish police mistreatment of Chinese tourists.
