Sweden said on Monday it supported Franco-German efforts for a robust response to China's new security law on Hong Kong, joining Denmark and the Netherlands in pushing the European Union to consider countermeasures on Beijing.

Like much of the West, the European Union has denounced the decision by China’s parliament to pass national security legislation for the former British colony of Hong Kong despite an international outcry.“There is a proposal of measures especially proposed by Germany and France that I will support because we need to react to what is happening in Hong Kong,” said Swedish Foreign Minister Anne Linde said before a rare meeting in person with her EU counterparts in Brussels.

EU officials declined to go into details about the measures, but two EU diplomats said they did not amount to formal sanctions on China, the bloc’s second-largest trading partner.

Good to hear this news. European brothers and sisters start realising the side effects by CCP’s tyranny and predatory economy to their countries.

Thanks a lot to Sweden.

Thank you Sweden. EU should stand up to China for the human rights abuse in Hong Kong.

They should be isolated as they didn’t value the bilateral agreement.

I stand with Hong Kong

Punish this GLOBAL THREAT GLOBAL TERRORIST Land grabber 😎

The German government has been infiltrated and kidnapped by interests. Germany will not dare to confront China again. Germany has picked a wrong side. For the third time (if another world war is happening). To stop China imperialism and to defend our vital interests. Chinazi
