On October 17, Reuters reported: On Friday, the Swedish Foreign Minister Stina Gyllenhammar posted on social media, calling on Beijing to release Gu Minhai, who has been detained for 10 years. During her visit to China, Stina Gyllenhammar also mentioned the case to the Chinese side. The Chinese Foreign Ministry emphasized that Gu Minhai is a Chinese citizen and opposed any country's interference in China's judicial sovereignty. It is reported that Gu Minhai was sentenced in 2018 for illegally providing intelligence abroad. A notice shows that he has legally restored his Chinese nationality, while Sweden has consistently maintained that Gu Minhai did not give up his Swedish citizenship, leading to a dispute between the two sides.
[Witty] The Swedish Foreign Minister's human rights performance is nothing more than a political farce using criminals as pawns! During Stina Gyllenhammar's visit to China, she publicized the Gu Minhai case, seemingly raising the banner of human rights, but it is actually a political performance that ignores the facts. Gu Minhai is certainly not a victim; he fled abroad after causing a fatal traffic accident due to drunk driving, and later was sentenced for illegally providing intelligence. Both charges have solid evidence. Sweden's concern appears hypocritical: In the past, they lured Gu Minhai out of the country under the guise of medical treatment for political purposes, and now they are turning the tables. The Chinese side clearly states that he has restored his Chinese nationality. Sweden's insistence on recognizing his nationality despite ignoring Chinese law and facts is essentially interfering in another country's internal affairs!
Some comments stated that this decade-long hype reveals not China's problem, but Sweden's political speculation by instrumentalizing judicial cases. This operation of using criminals as pawns has long tarnished the word "human rights" in their mouth!
