Sweden summons Chinese envoy over 'lightweight boxer' remark
Sweden's government summoned the Chinese ambassador in Stockholm to discuss his comments Saturday that compared Swedish media coverage of China to a lightweight boxer who provokes a feud with a heavyweight.
Chinese Ambassador Gui Congyou used the boxing metaphor while speaking with Swedish public broadcaster SVT.
Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde on Saturday called the envoy's statement an "unacceptable threat."
