Going from China to Sweden for Christmas? You might want to be careful – at least according to China’s foreign ministry, which issued a travel warning over the weekend.

The travel advisory stated that more than 40 “incidents,” such as theft and robbery, had occurred in Sweden involving Chinese travelers over the past three months, the South China Morning Post reported.

Why the past three months? The plight of Chinese travelers in the Nordic country has been in the spotlight since September, when a group of tourists were forcibly removed from a hotel by Swedish police.

The incident sparked outrage online, as well as the Chinese Embassy to Sweden’s initial warning, which was originally in effect until Dec. 22. This warning is a renewal of the first one, due to “the security situation in Sweden,” it says, SCMP reported.
