Chinese Reaction To Nobel Peace Prize Channels Hitler

This Year's Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Chinese dissident Xiaobo in Oslo, Norway on Friday. At the service, Liu was honored by the symbolism of a clear seat as he sat in a jail cell thousands of miles away. China has spoken out against Liu's award of the Nobel Peace Prize since it was declared and is the 1st government since Nazi Germany to ban friends or family to represent the winner in Olso. Regardless of whether Liu Xiaobo had been able to get an payday loan, he wouldn't be able to buy his freedom.
Chair awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Thorbjorn Jagland is the chairman of the Norwegian Nobel Committee who presented the award. An empty chair was where they set the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize and the $1.5 million check with it. Over 60 countries sent diplomatic representatives. They were all to go to the Nobel awards ceremony. Both China and Russia were very much absent. Jagland gave China credit for its economic development, but said "It is no coincidence that nearly all the richest countries in the world are democratic." Since Liu Xiaobo had been announced as the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oct, China has suspended bilateral trade talks with Norway. We can tell what the Beijing government thinks about it. It did say that the Nobel Committee members were "clowns" after all.
Saying Charter 08 happened with Liu Xiaobo
Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo had been arrested in December 2008 after co-authoring "Charter 08,"a manifesto calling for fundamental political change in China. Charter 08 had been signed by more than 300 academics, lawyers, journalists and other influential Chinese. Liu allegedly committed "subversion of state power." This is why he is serving an 11 year sentence. News of Liu's award has been stopped by China as much as possible. Police then forced co-author of Charter 08, Zhang, Zuhua, into a automobile Thursday. Blue construction panels were erected in front of Liu's apartment, where his wife has been under house arrest since he was announced as the winner.
Hitler could be China's role model
Imprisoned political dissidents are awarded the Nobel Peace Prize before. The Oslo awards ceremony had family of soviet physicist Andrei Sakharov, Polish labor leader Lech Walesa and Burmese activist Aung San Suu Kyi to accept the awards. The last time an imprisoned Nobel laureate's family weren't allowed to attend was in 1935. The Nobel Peace Prize had been given to German journalist Count Carl von Ossietzky who had spoken out about Hitler's rise to power causing him to be put in a concentration camp. Just as China did with their Confucius Prize Thursday, Hitler then has his own peace prize.
