“Spying on Sweden? Is China working on an Inter-Continental Ballistic Meatball or something?”

No, they are expanding their military high tech base and are heavily focusing on space based technology. Yes, Sweeden is within Europe one of the technological leaders. Bofors, Saab and many others are based there.

The Chinese ramped up their space program for a reason. It's not for civilian use. They have been actively and aggressively pursuing high tech weaponry for a while now. At every juncture they try to break the arms export restrictions to them. At the same time they are attempting to expand their domestic capabilities.

If you go to German universities you’ll occasionally see a Chinese exchange student. Many are actually military personnel in civilian cloths while studying there. Near all are studying mechanical or electrical engineering, physics or chemistry. Something the state needs for their defense industry.
