China strongly condemned a Swedish television show’s racist comments, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said on Monday.

中国外交部周一表示，中国强烈谴责瑞典一档电视节目的种族主义言论。

Sweden’s national public broadcaster, Sveriges Television (SVT), aired an episode of “Sweden News” on September 21, involving racist comments against China and Chinese people.

瑞典国家公共广播公司瑞典电视台(SVT)于9月21日播出了一集“瑞典新闻”，其中涉及针对中国和中国人民的种族主义言论。

"The Swedish TV anchor’s remarks are filled with discrimination, prejudice, and defiance against China as well as other ethnicities, which has severely deviated from media ethics," MOFA’s spokesperson Geng Shuang said at a daily news briefing when asked to comment on the issue.

外交部发言人耿爽在接受记者采访时表示:“这位瑞典电视主持人的言论充满了对中国和其他民族的歧视、偏见和蔑视，严重违背了媒体道德。”

According to him, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and China’s Embassy in Sweden have strongly protested against such behavior in both Beijing and Stockholm and asked for serious negotiations from the Swedish side.

据他介绍，中国外交部和中国驻瑞典大使馆在北京和斯德哥尔摩都对这种行为提出强烈抗议，并要求瑞典方面进行认真谈判。

"The Chinese side has also asked the person responsible for the issue to carry out methods mitigating the negative impact and reserved the right to act further if necessary," Geng Shuang said.

耿爽表示:“中方还要求事件责任人采取措施减轻负面影响，并保留在必要时采取进一步行动的权利。”

Sveriges Television, Sweden’s largest television station, aired an episode of "Sweden News" on Friday, in which the host presented an incorrect map of China and made jokes about the Chinese family who had claimed to have been mistreated by the police in Sweden during a trip to Stockholm.

瑞典最大的电视台SVT上周五播出了一集《瑞典新闻》(Sweden News)，节目主持人出示了一张不正确的中国地图，还拿在斯德哥尔摩旅行期间被瑞典警方虐待的中国家庭开玩笑。
