| Sweden's government summoned the Chinese ambassador in Stockholm to discuss his comments on Saturday that compared Swedish media coverage of China to a lightweight boxer who "provokes a feud" with a heavyweight.
Chinese ambassador Gui Congyou used the boxing metaphor while speaking with Swedish public broadcaster SVT. Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde on Saturday called the envoy's statement an "unacceptable threat."
