[Trango Towers]

Never heard that third grade singer.

But there is something very wrong in chi a as well. No smoke without fire

Lol. She had one good song five years ago. Attention seeking when album sales are low is a common trait.

There are many Uighur celebrities in sports and entertainment industry in China, so many, but the west failed to even turn a single of them against China, what a failure...

Swedish singer Zara Larsson announced Tuesday that she had ended her collaboration with China's Huawei to promote its smartphones, saying China "is not a nice state."

Speaking with broadcaster TV4, Larsson, whose greatest hits have been streamed over 5 billion times according to the broadcaster, said the collaboration had ended a few months ago. Larsson said she did not want to support what China "was doing."

"We know that the Chinese state is not a nice state," she said, adding that she would have liked to take a stand on the Uighurs, Tik Tok or Hong Kong but that she felt "hindered" by her collaboration with Huawei.

"If I now look back it wasn't, from a professional but also a personal perspective, the smartest deal I've done," the 22-year-old singer said.

"It's not something I stand behind," she added.

Larsson, who is one of Sweden's best known international singers, first reached international fame with her 2013 hit Uncover, then through her collaboration with French DJ David Guetta.

In April 2019, Zara Larsson concluded a promotional deal with Huawei to market the launch of a new smartphone.

Olympic swimmer Sarah Sjostrom was also hired to promote the Chinese telecoms giant's phones.

Interviewed last year by the magazine Resume about the accusations of spying and Huawei's ties to the Chinese state, Larsson said she wasn't "particularly informed."

"Huawei is a privately owned company in China that is now launching a good mobile phone, more than that I'm not thinking about or commenting," she told the magazine.

Her statements provoked criticism that Larsson was promoting the interests of the Chinese communist regime.

In an op-ed published on Tuesday in newspaper Expressen, Matilda Ekeblad, a local politician representing the conservative Moderate Party, accused the singer of "running China's errands," pointing to accusations Huawei conducts espionage for Beijing and Chinese repression of the Uighur community and Hong Kong.

Yet she remained quiet when the Americans genocided over 3 million Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere between 1990 to the present...............

LOL! What does Sweden have to do with bombing Muslims..they are not even in NATO.

This is like lopping Pakistan in with Japan when talking about Asians.

Eh..Pakistan, India, Japan you are all the same East brothers.

But they are supporting American campaign of destroying muslim. So they are a collaborator too.

 

[Beast]

others should also come to help uighars .

The world Muslim need to united against Hindu extremist like modi and BJP.

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

But they are supporting American campaign of destroying muslim. So they are a collaborator too.

By doing nothing? If that's the criteria the whole planet is collaborating.

 

[Rollno21]

It's the West at it again trying to woo the Muslims after bombing the **** out of half the countries.

Ok the west bombed the Muslims and majority of the cases the Muslims wanted some other Muslims to be bombed and they paid for it.
But what about your country being a Muslim country quiet ,I understand your govt they are dependent on China .and what about you being a Muslim ,if you can't condemn you can keep quite rather than cheerleading for china and still call yourself Muslim
