Embassy of China: Minhai not Sweden's business

China's ambassador Gui Congyou does not want to discuss the imprisoned Swedish book publisher Gui Minhai: "The case has been removed from the archive," they write on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the embassy, ​​Minhai himself applied for Chinese citizenship in 2018, which resulted in his losing his Swedish citizenship. China does not allow dual citizenship.

But Swedish Foreign Ministry thinks he is a Swedish citizen.

- A Swedish citizenship can only be terminated after examination and decision by the Swedish Migration Board, says Buster Mirow Emitslöf, Foreign Ministry's press contact.
