The Yi Jing commented:
Sweden’s subtly radical ‘feminist’ foreign policy is causing a stir -> 10.2.4.5.6 > 24
The formation
10 - Persistence
One is committed with confidence, in the long term and with a simple goal, without looking for outside help.
2 - One scoots.
4 - One gets by because the support won't move.
5 - One moves away from the path.
6 - After looking backwards the challenges they have faced, one takes great satisfaction.
In the making
24 - To return
One returns to see the results of their action.
My interpretation:
This is an article about foreign policy, yet the comment mentions that no outside help is looked after, so this is intriguing. While it gets four changing lines, this reading appears to be understandable without follow-up questions. We are going to ask some nonetheless.
Who/what is committed? (10)
Who/what is committed? -> 44.1.5 > 14
The formation
44 - Invitation
One must not abuse hospitality.
1 - One keeps away a close one who doesn't want to commit.
5 - One protects those who are not ready yet with patience, until one is satisfied.
This is about the feminist policy: keeping away (44.1) those who don't want to commit into women's rights (44.5).
In the making

Addressing the needs if the means are available.

Who/what takes great satisfaction? (10.6)
Who/what takes great satisfaction? -> 13
The formation
13 - Company
Making oneself available. Not taking one's own opinions into account. General agreement is impossible.

In the making

17 - To guide
When one rejoices others, they join with them.
In the making
16 - Youth

Conclusion:
10.2 is about the Ikea store that cannot open in Morocco, 10.4 is about the ideological issues that prevent women to be free in many countries. 10.5 shows that talking does not work (Margot Wallström has been booted from a gathering, the article says). 10.6 is about the countries that do not want to talk with Sweden about women's right and are taking great satisfaction from it, those countries won't change their policies without evidence (25.1) that it is their interest to do so (44.3.4.6).
The goal shown by hexagram 10 is to achieve gender's equality, the hexagram 24 shows that diplomatic pressure is the mean employed to reach that goal. This is a long reading of moderate difficulty.
