China's embassy in Stockholm has lashed out at Sweden's national television broadcaster, demanding an apology for "insulting China" in a comedy show referring to a controversial case involving three Chinese tourists.


The embassy said on Saturday that the Sveriges Television (SVT) programme, which was aired on Friday night, and presenter Jesper Rönndahl "spread and advocate racism and xenophobia outright".
