Recently, during a visit to Sweden, some members of the Chinese civil service team inadvertently photographed sensitive local facilities and personnel and were detained by the Swedish police, which had a great impact on the subsequent trip. The Chinese Embassy in Sweden once again reminds Chinese citizens of taking photos and videos while in Switzerland: 1. Please pay close attention to warning signs such as “No entry” and “No photography”. 2. Please refrain from photographing police law enforcement personnel, airport staff, and other types of uniformed civil servants. 3. Some popular attractions are inside or close to protected areas. You should pay more attention to warning signs. You should not take them lightly to avoid accidental entry. 4. Never go on an adventure and take pictures in sparsely populated areas such as deep mountains, dense forests, remote buildings, etc. out of personal interest or curiosity. 5. If careless filming occurs and is questioned and investigated by local police officers, please remain calm, cooperate politely, answer truthfully, and do not dispute or act excessively. 6. If you are detained by the Swedish police and your personal communication equipment is seized, it is recommended that you take the initiative to get in touch with the Chinese Embassy or Consulate in Sweden as soon as possible.
