Added: 2026-05-23

[00:00:00]You know, just when you talk about international press community, you talk about those sweeping statements. I have to ask you this. The Norwegian royal couple went to China at a time when we go internment camps were being reported, covered, and talked about globally in global press. But, the Norwegian royal couple actually feigned complete ignorance about that issue. Just out of curiosity, did you or anybody in Norwegian press actually cover any of those instances?

[00:00:27]I was not a journalist back in 2018, and I've never covered Xi or any has not been here. Um no, at least not as to my memory.

[00:00:40]So, for me, um I will if he comes to Norway, I will also try to question him. Make no mistake, I'm very critical of how Indy No, how China conducts their human rights or the violations that are going on there, too, with the Uighur uh population. So, for me, um or the camps, I'm sorry.

[00:01:05]Uh it's been a long day, but um I will definitely, if he comes to Norway, I will try to challenge him as well, and I also will take this criticism Okay.

[00:01:16]>> back to the We have a very good network of uh the press in Norway discuss press issues a lot, and I think that is good constructive feedback that I could take back to the press community and see is there anything else we should do differently when we cover Asian continents, and also that'll be important because statistically, we have not covered that as often, and they don't get that much attention in Norway as, for example, Trump has gotten the last few years. So, now that our countries are strengthening ties, we'll definitely have to cover Asian countries more and also advance our coverage.

[00:01:56]>> Ms. Lind, you may not have been a journalist eight years back, but the world was in fact documenting those internment camps. And it's tragic that Norwegian press did not actually cover those.
