Liu Xiaobo: China's Nobel public affairs disaster

[Chinese-Dragon]

Here is India philosophy where deng helps- don't lead , let China and US fight it out , they will loose that fight like the old Soviet Union and collapse and let India slip into No2 position behind US : Yeah !!!!

As time goes on, our position becomes stronger. China has the world's biggest trade surplus, and America has the world's biggest trade deficit, the money just keeps flowing in year by year.

Now all we have to do is wait. No fighting... just waiting. There will be no shots fired at all.

Your precious India will never catch up with either one. India is the 11th largest economy today, well maybe in ten years you can move up slightly but still behind countries like Brazil.

Though awarding him the prize is controversial and unwarranted, I too wish China hadn't cared so much. Making so much noise and starting their own peace prize isolates them from the rest of the world.

Why China considers Liu Xiaobo a threat

* 1989: leading activist in Tiananmen Square protests for democratisation; jailed for two years
* 1996: spoke out against China's one-party system; sent to labour camp for three years
* 2008: co-author of Charter 08, calling for a new constitution, an independent judiciary and freedom of expression
* 2009: jailed for subversion for 11 years; verdict says he "had the goal of subverting our country's people's democratic dictatorship and socialist system. The effects were malign and he is a major criminal".

The BBC missed out the following:
* He took money from the NED/CIA
* He advocate that China should be colonised by UK
* He advocate to overthrow the CCP and replace with the chaotic multi-party election

And how do you know that?

Most analysts put India in a lot higher place.

I liked this hence I copied from rediff live(not intended to hurt any sentiment whatsoever)......

Liu on his wife: Your love will be as always:
"Ask me what has been my most fortunate experience of the past two decades, and I'd say it was gaining the selfless love of my wife, Liu Xia. She cannot be present in the courtroom today, but I still want to tell you, my sweetheart, that I'm confident that your love for me will be as always.
"Over the years, in my non-free life, our love has contained bitterness imposed by the external environment, but is boundless in afterthought. I am sentenced to a visible prison while you are waiting in an invisible one.
"Your love is sunlight that transcends prison walls and bars, stroking every inch of my skin, warming my every cell, letting me maintain my inner calm, magnanimous and bright, so that every minute in prison is full of meaning.
"But my love for you is full of guilt and regret, sometimes heavy enough to hobble my steps. I am a hard stone in the wilderness, putting up with the pummeling of raging storms, and too cold for anyone to dare touch. But my love is hard, sharp, and can penetrate any obstacles. Even if I am crushed into powder, I will embrace you with the ashes."

Liv Ullman's voice breaks reading out the part of Liu Xiaobo's speech on his wife. Here's some more...
Given your love, my sweetheart, I would face my forthcoming trial calmly, with no regrets about my choice and looking forward to tomorrow optimistically.
I look forward to my country being a land of free expression, where all citizens' speeches are treated the same; where different values, ideas, beliefs, political views ... both compete with each other and coexist peacefully; where, majority and minority opinions will be given equal guarantees, in particular, political views different from those in power will be fully respected and protected;
"where all political views will be spread in the sunlight for the people to choose; [where] all citizens will be able to express their political views without fear, and will never be politically persecuted for voicing dissent.

In China, internal affairs are the only thing that truly matters.

Plus, China isn't aiming to be a superpower anyway. See this quote from Deng Xiaoping:

"Keep a cool head and maintain a low profile. Never take the lead - but aim to do something big."

Can you please elaborate on this a little more......coz if you dont take lead how can u materialize something big......???

thanks

Never did...

How China branded Nobel winner Liu Xiaobo a traitor

Most frequently cited in this campaign of denunciation is an interview Liu gave to the journal in 1988. Visiting Hong Kong for the first time and dazzled by the city's prosperity, liberties and public order, Liu cracked that since the then-British colony had "become like this after 100 years of colonialism, China is so big it will of course need 300 years of colonialism. . . . I have my doubts as to whether 300 years would be enough."

At the time, his comments attracted little notice: They were typical of the provocative irreverence that characterized debate among Chinese intellectuals before the 1989 military assault on Tiananmen Square. "Nobody paid much attention," recalled Jin, who relegated the interview to the back of his magazine, then called Emancipation Monthly.

Today, Liu's words have been revived by the mainland media, stirring "patriotic" attacks on the jailed literary scholar on the Internet, where criticism of the Nobel Prize - unlike praise for it - has no trouble getting past censors.

It was sarcasm or bitterly irreverent about the contrast between Hong Kong and the rest of China. But not advocacy for colonialism.

The way you predict so many things with a dope in your mouth, I suppose!

 

[T-Rex]

The ******* Nobel Committee should award bush for opening concentration camps all over the world. I suppose China is far behind in that kind of feat that's why the Nobel Committee worries so much about human rights in China.

 

[阿叉 摩羅差]

I kind of agree. The CCP should have ignored it but instead acted like a pubescent teen with serious case of PMS. Nobel has lost a lot of cachet over the years and the CCP overreacted and made Xiaobo even more of 'human rights' icon.

 

[T-Rex]

The Nobel Committee is nothing but a tool of the west to bribe the world into thinking just how much they care about human rights. The list is most probably sent to the white-house for approval before announcing who are to get the ******* nobel prizes.
