Sweden is very hostile to China? It has been called the "least China-liking country" in the world.
With the development of China's national strength, the strength of a major country has gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes, but it has also been accompanied by some inevitable "complex emotions".
Such envy, jealousy, and hatred have also produced some unfriendly behaviors and even hostile attitudes toward China.....
So why did Sweden, as an "anti-China thorn", have such a big misunderstanding with our country?

85% of Sweden hate China!
In 2018, a news about "Chinese tourists being brutally treated by Sweden police" rushed to the hot search, and the Sweden News TV program openly broadcast insulting videos in the live broadcast, which caused an uproar on the Internet.
Under the banner of reminding Chinese tourists, they used the purpose of the camera's existence to promote blatant racism, which angered Chinese netizens.
While the people think why tourists are treated so unfairly, they also understand that Sweden has such an "anti-Chinese phenomenon" in the country.
Just a few years ago, a research center in United States conducted a survey through data analysis, and the content of the survey was "which country in the West hates China the most."
The final answer, as expected, is: Sweden, 85% of the Sweden people hate China.
In fact, for the results of the survey in a country like Sweden, which sees the wind and rudder, everyone does not feel very surprised, the big deal is that we are lukewarm, and it is good to keep a sense of distance?
So why is Sweden, a country that does not seem to have anything in common with China, so anti-China?
Hatred that lasted for three centuries
The origin of the world has to start from the old events of three centuries ago, and since the 18th century, with the progress of the industrial revolution, the entire continent has begun to enter the road of development.
And those dazzling handicrafts are a bit too limited to Europe alone, and they can't be completely exhausted, so some European merchants want to sell these handicrafts to China.
But I didn't expect that it was the most stringent time in the Qing government's navy management period, so the calculations of these European merchants could be overturned, thinking that it would be more difficult for these Western goods to enter China by sea.
Then before the European businessmen began to think of some illegal things, such as spending huge sums of money to make up and down, that is, to buy it out, but in this way, there was not much money left in their pockets.
For these capitalists, this business is simply a money-losing business, and this business becomes less cost-effective, but they are "money for life".
But in this transaction, thinking about the money that could be in his pocket, but he didn't even enter the door of China, the money was wasted, and the previous efforts were in vain.
Whatever the reason, it is false to say that they are not distressed, so some European businessmen have a grudge against China because of this incident.
Therefore, when they returned to the European soil with these crafts and frustration, they finally became angry, so they began to spread false statements about the European continent everywhere, causing Europeans to form a unique prejudice against China.
But from anyone's point of view, this matter is not China's fault..... When encountering a problem, you don't think about your own reasons first, but overturn such mistakes on others.
However, it is clear that their splashing of dirty water has caused an indelible prejudice impact on China, although it is not yet to the point of "discrimination", but it has become a definite fact that there is prejudice against China in the hearts of Europeans.
These are some of the unpleasant conflicts that occurred between China and Europe at first, but this is not a contradiction for the mainland, but some Europeans have begun to have a bad impression.
As for why it developed into the way it is now, it is inextricably linked to the famous botanist "Linnaeus" Sweden......
Media Influence & Information Cocoon
In 1935, Linnaeus's book "Natural Systems" was widely developed on the market, and this book played a very important role in the development of botany.
Strangely, however, the botanist in the book highlights the emphasis on discrimination against Asians in the "ethnographic classification", and he sometimes refers to Asians and Europeans as Caucasians.
And sometimes Asians are defined as brown people, that is, there is no yellow person to talk about it, what is the reason?
In fact, in European culture, yellow is an undesirable color, symbolizing the opposite of purity, that is, with some derogatory and shameful colors.
And for the botanist Linnaeus said that when he still showed respect for the Chinese, he naturally did not use these derogatory colors like yellow, so he called Asians Caucasian or brown.
This was fine, but it wasn't until the tenth edition of his book, Natural Systems, that a subtle change was noticed, in which he changed the Asians to the yellow race.
This statement was met with a large number of Asian people, and Linnaeus's subtle description also showed that he already had an unkind view of Asians, and the description in the book expressed his subjective point of view from the side.
It is precisely because of this that the saying of the yellow race has been passed down to this day, so everyone wants to figure out why Linnaeus had the previous respect and turned into the current disrespect?
In fact, the answer is very simple, it is for sycophancy, because before the end of World War II, Linnaeus from Sweden was always called "the periphery of Europe", after all, it is located in remote northern Europe.
At that time, some negative news about Asia was spreading throughout Europe, especially China, so Sweden, which was about to be "marginalized", naturally wanted to be recognized by the mainstream of Europe.
It can only be said that narrow interests limit the eyes of Sweden, and the wall-riding faction that follows the lighthouse country will eventually go with the tide of history.....
It's not so much that he recognizes the eldest brother, but that he is afraid that he will be "marginalized", so in order to be the eldest brother, Linnaeus, still chose to stand on the side of the mainstream European society.
Like Sweden, this is the deformed psychology of trying to gain some "attention or applause" from the mainstream of the West by "insulting Asians", so the hatred between Sweden and China has been passed down.
Events that affect relations between the two countries
But in fact, in the early days of the founding of New China, the relationship between China and Sweden was not as stiff as it is now, but with one incident, the Cold War between the two sides was quickly ended.
That is the collapse of the Soviet Union, due to the tilt of one end of the scale, more and more countries choose to change their position and throw themselves into the arms of the "big brother" of United States, then Sweden is naturally not far behind.
So Sweden also threw an olive branch to United States, but you must know that it is not without thresholds to enter the United States camp, and if you want to enter the United States camp, they also clearly put forward three conditions to Sweden.
One of the most important conditions is that Sweden can "oppose China to the end", so we can see some Sweden news insulting incidents on the Internet, Sweden closing domestic Confucius Institutes, or some well-known Sweden brands, successively breaking out some negative news such as insulting China.
Although such behavior has not been supported by the Sweden government, they have not banned such ideas, and have always maintained a "neutral and acquiescing" attitude, which is not disguised support?
Therefore, these "anti-China behaviors" and "anti-Chinese reactions" of the Sweden people now, to be honest, are just some erroneous perceptions of China under the deliberate guidance of the Western media.
Aside from the fact that Sweden is a country that sees the wind and steers, their position is not firm at all, and there has never been a clear direction to distinguish between right and wrong.
Therefore, what does our country need to do, in addition to proving our strength to everyone, we need to resolve this misunderstanding with sincerity, China is a pragmatic country, so we don't hold grudges, but it doesn't mean that we can forget hatred.....
The negative effect of Western media rumors smearing China is that China's media must grasp their own right to speak and counter the smear conspiracy of Western media rumors!
Since ancient times, the Chinese nation has revered nature, life, and ancestors, and is a model of human faith and the only civilization that has never been interrupted.
It is the fundamental reason why we continue to create miracles, that is to say, we can only stick to the path that we think is right, and believe that time will give us the answer.
epilogue
However, don't pay too much attention to the relationship between "China and Switzerland", just let it be, what others say, are you what you are? To make Sweden is an ant and we are an elephant, the so-called "iron must be hard itself".
