It’s a diplomatic spat no one saw coming, but tensions have over the past few weeks been escalating between China and Sweden.<\/p>\n

It all started earlier in September when Chinese tourists were removed from a hotel by Swedish police, a move which was heavily condemned by the Chinese government.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, a video emerged of Chinese tourists allegedly being thrown out of a hotel by police in Stockholm.<\/p>\n

A Chinese man and his parents had allegedly arrived at the hotel at midnight – hours before they were due to check in. They asked to stay in the lobby but were refused, and eventually were forcibly removed by police.<\/p>\n

In the video, the Chinese man is seen yelling in English “This is killing. This is killing”, while falling over dramatically. His mother is seen wailing and crying in Chinese, saying “help”, while police officers look on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
