China has faced growing criticism over its detention of more than one million Uyghurs and other Muslims in re-education camps in Xinjiang. The region is now one of China’s most heavily policed areas.

China is Sweden’s eighth most important export market and its biggest trading partner in Asia. On 2017, the total value of Sweden’s exports to China increased by 27% over the previous year, reaching a record-high of over 58 million Swedish kronor.
It’s that time of the year for the “two sessions”, the meetings of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and the National People’s Congress.
