In the course of the past year, the citizens of Hong kong even as a wave of demonstrations, risked their freedom and their lives against the brutal police violence in order to stand up for freedom and democracy. Sweden has, during the whole of that period, have been surprisingly quiet.

Now that the regime in Beijing to introduce the china national security ” in Hong kong, which means that criticism of the ruling regime in the Prc and in Hong kong can be regarded as a betrayal, which makes the presentations can be classified as a terrorist, and that the chinese security services to be able to work in Hong kong. It is not the end for Hong kong as we know it, and in the end it is a democracy, that ought to show you the way to China.
is completely at Odds with the utrikesdeklarationen

The Swedish silence in the face of this stands in contrast to the government Löfvens’s stated desire to be a leader and a driving force for democracy around the world. The Utrikesdeklarationen from the 12th of February this year, said the minister of foreign affairs, and Ann Linde, among other things, the following about the growing threat to democracy.

”This trend threatens the foundations of our security and peace of mind. Therefore, the stepping up Sweden to work for the defence and promotion of democracy around the world through the demokratisatsningen the Drive For Democracy.”

but also to us
Just on the basis that the development is threatening to us, should the pro-democracy movement in Hong kong will have our full support. She said:

”We are building alliances with like-minded countries and organizations that would like to work for the consolidation of democracy. Funding for the demokratibiståndet has been raised.” One of this alliance has been the result of out of the question, the chinese foreign ministry or other dictatorships, such as those in the Middle east. And she said:

”We will increase the support of the open society, and in particular for the freedom and independence of media and freedom of the press.” However, the construction in the open society, a free and independent media, and freedom of the press is threatened, is the is the the silence of talking about a submission that is unacceptable.

China calls for submission
On the state of English-language websites, and expressed the government’s ambition in this way: ”Sweden wants to be a leading global force who stands-up-for-the-advancement-of democracy.” It is the empty word, which creates a huge risk for democracy.

China is threatening, bullying, and boycotting those who dare to criticize the repression and lack of freedom around the world, including Sweden.

in China, an offensive to Hong kong will have to be put into a global perspective. The new säkerhetslagarna it repeals, not just Hong kong’s autonomy, but is also in violation of the international agreement, which in 1985, was registered with the United Nations.

China is threatening, bullying, and boycotting those who dare to criticize the repression and lack of freedom around the world, including Sweden. The requirement of silence and submission, in its best interests, the threats, the leveraged buy-out, and cyber warfare strikes are clearly against Sweden. It is the silence that characterizes Sweden would expose the critics of the dictatorship as a deviant, rather than as a self-evident voice in a democracy.

Maybe it’s the end of the Swedish initiative than it is to drink coffee with the young people, as it is in the utrikesdeklarationen: ”Our embassies should carry out the demokratisamtal, which is aimed at young people. ” of The free world, force is the greater,

China will have it’s own economy, than it is to learn to respect the democracies, the sovereignty of the. The free world’s economic strength is the more diverse, larger, and should be used in order to set clear limits. What is happening in Hong kong is a part of a global conflict in which China, with its absolute power. The interference in Hong kong’s self-government is a violation of international law and an attack on democracy. The government wants to be a leading force for democracy, together with other free countries, the courage to lead and be a force. It takes more than a discreet drinking coffee.
