Chinese Ambassador Interviewed by Swedish Media

On June 2, 2025, the Chinese Ambassador to Sweden Cui Aimin (崔爱民) was interviewed by the Swedish online media outlet NewsVoice to commemorate the 75th anniversary of China-Sweden diplomatic relations. In the interview, the ambassador promoted bilateral cooperation in green technology and trade, defended China’s response to US tariffs, and encouraged Sweden to join the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and BRICS cooperation mechanisms. He also said that “embracing China is embracing opportunities” and characterized both China and the EU as “victims” of US tariffs. Echoing China’s official position that his country practices “whole-process democracy” (全过程民主), Cui told the outlet that “each country’s democracy has its own features.”
