There were several high-profile and sensitive political issues that were dealt with when GuiConyou, China's ambassador to Sweden, sat down in the chair opposite host Anders Holmberg.
One of them was the situation in Xinjiang province in western China, where up to one million people belonging to the Muslim minority Uighurs have been put in retraining camps, with high walls, watchtowers and barbed wire.
The reports of oppression and forced labor have in recent years resulted in growing criticism from the outside world.
Denies information
Sweden's ambassador Gui Conyou has launched a fierce attack on the critics and repeats for 30 minutes what both he and China have previously claimed: that it is a lie, and that it is in fact a fight against terrorism.
- There are no so-called concentration camps in Xinjiang.
What is available is help with education for those who are affected by extremism and those who have committed minor terrorist crimes to help them with professional skills so that they can get a permanent job and integrate into society, says Gui Conyou.
But both the UN Commissioner for Human Rights and several human rights organizations around the world believe that it is not true that the hundreds of thousands of people put in the camps have not committed any terrorist crimes.
- These are lies that are spread by a few people.
Compared to the work against extremism in Sweden, France, and others, it is really the same thing.
"Ordinary people who boycotted"
The UN has claimed that human rights are being systematically violated in the province.
Private companies are also worried about the situation in Xingjiang.
One of them is Swedish H&M, which, after expressing concern that there is forced labor in the area, has been subjected to an extensive boycott.
- Over 70 percent of Xinjiang's cotton production is handled by machines, not by humans.
Do you mean that the machines that cultivate and harvest do forced labor?
What is required for the boycott of H&M to end?
- Because H&M listens to China opponents' lies about forced labor in Xinjiang, ordinary people in China spontaneously boycotted H & M's products.
