Summary: In this Communication to the Riksdag, the Government outlines Sweden’s relations with China and the Government’s approach to matters relating to China.

On Tibet, it says: -"The situation of minorities, particularly Muslim Uighurs, in Xinjiang is very serious. A large number of people have been forced into ‘re-education camps’, and restrictions on religion and freedom of movement are particularly prevalent. Disproportionately tough penalties for crimes against national security remain more common in cases concerning minorities, particularly in Xinjiang and Tibet." -"Chinese intelligence activities also target Chinese refugees and organisations working for Tibet, Xinjiang and Taiwan, for example, and political decision-making. China occasionally attempts to counteract the exercise of freedom of expression and assembly in Sweden with respect to issues relating to China."
