发帖数: 901 | 1 BEIJING – Imprisoned Chinese democracy campaigner Liu Xiaobo on Friday won
the Nobel Peace Prize — an award that drew furious condemnation from the
authoritarian government and calls from world leaders including President
Barack Obama for Liu's quick release.
Chinese state media blacked out the news and Chinese government censors
blocked Nobel Prize reports, which highlighted Liu's calls for peaceful
political change, from Internet websites. China declared the decision would
harm its relations with Norway and promptly summoned Oslo's ambassador to
Beijing to make a formal protest.
In Oslo, China's ambassador to Norway met with a state secretary at Norway's
Foreign Ministry, ministry spokeswoman Ragnhild Imerslund said.
The Norwegian officials explained that the peace prize committee is
independent of the government and that Norway wants to maintain good
relations with China, Imerslund said.
This year's peace prize followed a long tradition of honoring dissidents
around the world and was the first Nobel for China's dissident community
since it resurfaced after the Communists launched economic but not political
reforms three decades ago.
Liu, 54, was sentenced last year to 11 years in prison for subversion. The
Nobel committee said he was the first to be honored while still in prison,
although other Nobel winners have been under house arrest, or imprisoned
before the prize. | w*******g

Well, at least this year's Nobel Peace Prize is less of a joke than last
year's Nobel Peace Prize...
However, I must question the motives behind the committee's awarding of this
year's Peace Prize. Are they awarding the Prize objectively; i.e. has there
been any tangible result from Mr. Liu Xiaobo's activities that actually
contributed to world peace? Or are they (the Nobel Committee) just trying to
send a message to the Chinese government and China?
Frankly, I think the Chinese government should be awarded the Peace Prize.
Their ability to pull their country out of poverty without engaging in any
wars (*cough* US warmongering *cough*) has been a great contribution to
world peace in itself.... |
