China incident
On 21 September 2018, Svenska Nyheter hosted by Rönndahl broadcast a segment making fun of a Chinese family claiming police mistreatment during a trip to Stockholm, while the end of the segment featured a short "informational film for Chinese tourists" dubbed in Chinese, which featured a variety of perceived racist stereotypes against Asians in Sweden, such as public defecation and dog-meat consumption.[3]
