STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Sweden said on Thursday it had replaced its ambassador to China after accusations she held an unauthorised meeting in a quest to free dissident bookseller Gui Minhai.

The Hong Kong-based, Swedish publisher of books critical of China's communist leaders was abducted in Thailand in 2015 and later appeared in custody in mainland China.
