It’s far worse than that. They literally kidnapped a Swedish citizen and tortured him into a confession, and claimed jurisdiction just because he used to be a Chinese citizen.

At lease in that case person was at one point Chinese citizen. Unlike USA which keeps murdering non-citizens. Not to mention extraditions...

Gui Minhai was kidnapped as a Swedish. While in detention, he was forced to surrender his Swedish citizenship to restore the Chinese citizenship. You got the timeline wrong. China’s tactic is a breach of Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.

Don’t let Sweden off the hook that easily:

They were completely complicit in human rights violating, american extraditions.
Still, it doesn't change anything about China kidnapping a Swedish citizen and torturing him into a confession because he dared to criticize China.
