Does China want to have a Swedish authority?

We are very good at telling other countries what to do despite the fact that many of our key statistical data and participation in global comparisons are far from positive.

Figures and results have had a negative progress for so long that I actually understand that many of the officers in this small country have not taken action for a long period of time.

For example, our Swedish youth unemployment hovers between 25 and 30 percent and that does not mean anything to anyone, except the unfortunate victims. I understand that future generations feel let down and look to other countries where young people with new skills are allowed to operate in more dynamic and flexible labor markets. Just read the studies, they suggest that young individuals should move and work abroad which is not a coincidence since Sweden is not as attractive as many would think.

Swedish voters want to start a Swedish authority in China, a Swedish authority that will counteract child labor and teach the Chinese human rights. The Authority shall be governed and funded by the Swedish Foreign Ministry, which will start a new export era.

The Swedish sovereignty and attitude will no longer exist, but why do we choose China out of all countries? China and most countries in the western world sell their state-bonds wherever there is money. Money is needed in many of the western financial systems. But should the country with the highest GDP growth quarter after quarter, and which the U.S. has a thousands of billions in debt to, be considered to need a Swedish authority?

The idea is absurd, and surely it discredits over 1 billion people who have been trained and developed at a pace forcing many of our Swedish and Western industrial companies to approach the strategy "If you can´t beat them - Join Them ".

Of course there are areas in need of improvement in China but which country really lacks improvement potential? And what gives Sweden the right to seek and respond to faults in other countries?

Did we already forget the Swedish miserable handling of disasters such as Estonia and the Tsunami, or the management of AMF. Another example is Vattenfall with our Enterprise Minister in the center. The list is long, there are things we need to take care of.

A better idea would be if the State Department would ask China to start a public authority in Sweden
where they could export their expertise to us about how our business environment should look like and be developed so that our products and services can take major shares on the global market.

We would give ourselves a chance to compete against the world around us when the Chinese have demonstrated their ability. After all, success is not just about being lucky.

It would be great if Sweden could replace their outdated and worn global attitude to the new modern global business environment. Then, for us that take the risk, we would not have to live by an antiquated and socialist 70's model in a country that has less than 1 percent of global assets and an even smaller share of world population. Sweden is not bigger than this, regardless of the myth.
