STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish publisher Gui Minhai, who has been held by Chinese authorities off and on since 2015, was examined by a Swedish doctor in a Chinese hospital on Monday, Sweden's foreign minister said.

The Chinese-born Gui, 53, who is a Swedish citizen based in Hong Kong and who has published books critical of China's leaders, was abducted in Thailand in 2015 and brought to custody in mainland China.
