"The recent difficulties are due to a few Swedes brutally meddling in China's internal affairs"

What on earth can they mean by that? Thread🧵>>
Ericsson had already established a presence in China in the early 1890s through the telephone sales of Gustaf Öberg in Shanghai. Orders increased after the turn of the century when Öberg became president of a telephone operating company in the city.
I´m leaving out the Swedish opium trade that is part of the long trading history between Sweden and China via "The Swedish East India Company" from 1731. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_E…
I focus on Ericsson.
In 1913, Ericsson supplied equipment for a telephone station in Guangzhou (Canton). A few years later, the company also hoped to win the telephone concession in the city, but World War I put a stop to these plans. Attempts were made again after the war but without success.
After the birth of the People's Republic of China in 1949 and until the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, the market was closed to Ericsson. In the late 1970s, however, the ruling Communist Party slowly began to open the enormous country to foreign companies.
So this ruthless communist dictatorship let private companies take control of the crutial telephone network? How?

Xi Jingping naturally has a background with connections to Sweden...

Xi joined the Youth League of the Communist Party in 1971 and became a member of the Communist Party of China in 1979. Between 1975 and 1979, Xi studied the topical subject of chemical engineering at Tsinghua.
From 1979 to 1982, he worked under his father's colleague, the former ambassador to Sweden Geng Biao, in the General Department of the Central Military Commission, where he gained not only some military experience. He was a very interesting person from the Swedish perspective...
However, Geng Biao, born August 26, 1909 in Liling, Hunan, died June 23, 2000 in Beijing, was a communist Chinese politician and diplomat who became the People's Republic of China's first ambassador to Sweden in 1950. So at the start of the Cold War, so surprising, isn't it.. ..
So.... to make long story short.
In 1981 Geng was appointed Minister of Defense and became Minister of State the following year. In 1983 he became vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee and in 1985 the AX switchboards from Ericsson were installed...
In 1985, the first representation office was opened in Beijing, and two years later, China signed what was its largest-ever telecom contract at the time for 200,000 lines of AXE.
So now Ericsson was inside China.
Ericsson has several joint venture companies in China. One is Nanjing Ericsson Communication Company Ltd established as Nanjing Panda Electronics.
The ties between Ericsson and CCP (China Communist Party) has a long history. That brings us to today. I have left out a lot.....☺️
Jacob Wallenberg: IBLAC (Mayor of Shanghai's International Business Leaders Advisory Council)

Yes that is correct, "Mayor of Shanghai's International Business Leaders Advisory Council"
At the board of AliBaba we have Börje Ekholm former CEO of Ericsson....
Also Jack Ma and Joseph Tsai (Sullivan & Cromwell) that i think people should look into....
From Alibaba and it´s connection to the Chinese social credit system and covid-passport we also have connections to Bytedance and Trump's Executive order 13942.
The same Executive order was extended by Biden.
To be continued......
whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
Sure as hell it's again not a coincidence or coincidence....

"But the most attention during the closing ceremony of the Communist Party was given to former Chinese President Hu Jintao when he was led out of the venue in front of an open curtain, apparently against his will."
Wallenberg said Wallenberg Group is proud of various forms of cooperation with China, and hopes to establish even closer ties with the country.
The prime minister Reinfeldt said. ""Not many people have had the kind of conversation I had with Hu Jintao" sverigesradio.se/artikel/2008736
Reinfeldt also announced that Sweden's investment in human rights education at Peking University, through the Raul Wallenberg Foundation, will receive more money. This is by making the visiting professor who has been there a few years permanent for the next three years.
Speaking of the Wallenberg foundations, during Covid Wallenberg flew in a complete lab from China:

Coronavirus Coup’ by the Wallenbergs: built a lab without government authorization

So to round this up an interview regarding the first tweet in this thread. An interview with Ambassador Gui Congyou

Ambassador Gui: There is no doubt that the Swedish side has to take full responsibility and bear the consequences.

Är det inte jävligt märkligt att en svensk militär (general) och Sveriges förste överbefälhavare (ÖB) (åren 1939–1944) att han 7 oktober 1940 mottog storkorset av Tyska örnens orden ur prinsen av Wieds hand med ordensbrev undertecknat av Hitler......

Eller det kanske inte är konstigt alls när jag tänker efter.😉Image
Victor av Wied hade dubbla kopplingar till det svenska kungahuset:
Hans mor var en yngre syster till den svenske kungen Karl XV:s hustru Lovisa av Nederländerna, och hans farmor Marie av Nassau-Weilburg (1825–1902) var en äldre halvsyster till Oscar II:s gemål Sofia av Nassau.

Tjänster och gentjänster nazister emellan.

Redan 1932 blev han medlem i NSDAP och utsågs strax efter nazisternas maktövertagande 1933 till Tyska rikets minister i Sverige. Denna post innehade han fram till 1943, då han efterträddes av Hans Thomsen, Tysklands tidigare chargé d'affaires i Washington. I Sverige var han känd som ”prinsen av Wied”.

Den 7 oktober 1940 överlämnade Wied storkorset av Tyska örnens orden med ordensbrev undertecknat av Hitler till den svenske överbefälhavaren Olof Thörnell. Wied hade själv utnämnts till kommendör med stora korset av Nordstjärneorden redan 1918.

Ellemtel, Ericsson, Telia and The AXE telephone exchange

At the end of the 1960s, L.M. Ericsson and Televerket were both working on developing computer-controlled exchanges. But the work was taking longer than planned for both of them and costs soon raced past the budgets. Image
“The whole world was talking about the coming of electronics. There was almost panic at L.M. Ericsson. Nobody knew how far competitors had come and there was no competitive solution in sight.”

On several occasions Bjurel proposed the idea that he and his colleagues had of a joint development company owned by Televerket and L.M. Ericsson.

/Bertil Bjurel
sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertil_Bj…Image
In Bjurel’s words: “He (Lundvall) was more or less desperate about the situation. His conclusion was that we should discuss the situation as soon as possible with [the chairman of L.M. Ericsson’s board] Marcus Wallenberg.

Before its establishment, international financial transactions were communicated over Telex

Telex messages are routed by addressing them to a telex address, e.g., "14910 ERIC S", where 14910 is the subscriber number, ERIC is an abbreviation for the subscriber's name (in this case Telefonaktiebolaget L.M. Ericsson in Sweden

Telex provided the first common medium for international record communications using standard signalling techniques and operating criteria as specified by the International Telecommunication Union.

The development of events surrounding Sintraericsson's (Sindicato de Trabajadores de Ericsson de Colombia) protests against starvation wages and unsafe working conditions at the Ericsson factory in Bogotá.....
🧵>>
Image
The board of directors for Sintraericsson repeatedly turned to the trade union "Samorganisationen" at LM Ericsson in Sweden and appealed for support. The company had dismissed union-active workers, the wages were not livable and the workers' union rights were not respected.
>>
The response from Samorganisationen was delayed and in 1979 three Colombian trade union representatives went to Sweden to inform about the difficult situation in Colombia.
