China has backing of more than 100 countries, organizations

More than 100 countries and international organizations have expressed support for China's stance on this year's Nobel Peace Prize, which will be awarded to convicted criminal Liu Xiaobo.

This shows that the majority of international community members do not accept the Nobel Committee's wrong decision.

The Nobel Committee's decision to grant the Peace Prize to a convicted criminal was tantamount to overt support for criminal activities in China, and a gross interference in China's judicial sovereignty.

This wrong decision will incur firm opposition from the Chinese people, and it is unacceptable to the vast majority of countries that uphold justice.

Different countries have different legal provisions, but many Western countries also criminalize the incitement of hatred. China's law is appropriate to its own social and cultural circumstances, which should be respected and understood by other countries.

In China, human rights experts and legal experts aired their opposition to the award.

Liu was sentenced to 11 years in jail on Dec. 25, 2009, after a Beijing court convicted him of violating Chinese law and engaging in activities aimed at overthrowing the government.

Liu's crime was very similiar to the actions of Julian Assange, and China notes that Assange is being punished also. China does not attempt to interfere, and does not criticize the judicial processes of other sovereign nations.

Liu incited others to subvert state power and overthrow the socialist system through writing incendiary articles and releasing them on the Internet and organizing and inducing others to sign in support of his articles.

His actions violated Article 105 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China and he had committed the crime of inciting others to subvert state power, said the spokesperson.

The court's decision on Liu's case was based on an adequate factual and legal foundation.

China respects the rule of law, and Chinese courts handled Liu Xiaobo's case according to the law, which was a judicial act of a sovereign country that should be respected.

Responsible international organizations and institutions should weigh their actions against the interests of a peaceful world order.

Got us a link to the uber-secret nations that aren't proud enough of this "support" to announce it to the planet?
 
Alfred Bernhard Nobel invented dynamite and the Chinese invented gunpowder, but what did the Norwegian Nobel Committee invent?

Looking back at the past few winners, we can say that the Nobel Committee did not carry out thorough analyses, even disregarded facts, before awarding the prize. It is not important to find out the reasons for the committee's action or inaction, because the results were the same. The basis for awarding the prize has not been solid in recent years, including this year.

The 2009 and 2010 peace prize winners reflect the partisanship of the Nobel Committee -- it cheers politicians from the West and opposes leaders from the East. It praises the United States and blames China.

Therefore, we can conclude that the Nobel Committee does not consider the difference in situations in different countries and different parts of the world even when it checked the background of those nominated for the prize.

Its own words and actions reveal certain defects in its analyses. In fact, it has discovered certain problems in that process but has chosen to ignore them.

Severe partisanship has already made the Nobel Peace Prize a prize of the West, although countries in the East are playing an increasingly important role in today's world.

Sadly, there is little we can do to stop the Nobel Committee from making decisions that violate the original purpose the Nobel Peace Prize.
 
Money talks louder than principle, where would America be today without China, a Communist country to support them? One wishes we could bring back Joe McCarthy, he'd have a field day. It would be funny history. Imagine Walmart without China? Or the American consumer? But the people are not the government - so can we let them slide? Interesting thought, consider the truthers, conspiracy nuts, far right wing fanatics, religious fanatics, loony militias, crazy constitutionalists in America and you can thank Zeus for a long established liberal representative constitutional democracy with all its insanity too, even as the republicans try to destroy it for? Guess what Money. The Bible was right.


"Whether and how the marriage of polyarchal democracy to market-capitalism can be made more favorable to the further democratization of polyarchy is a profoundly difficult question for which there are no easy answers, and certainly no brief ones. The relation between a country's democratic political system and its nondemocratic economic system has presented a formidable and persistent challenge to democratic goals and practices throughout the twentieth century. That challenge will surely continue in the twenty-first century." Robert A. Dahl

Why did the Chinese authorities put Liu Xiaobo's wife under house arrest and erect metal screens around her house? If they felt that their case was so strong, you might also want to ask why all access to the internet about the Nobel prize was blocked? Oh by the way, only sixteen countries that were invited failed to show up, so your boast of 100 countries boycotting the ceremony is just bullshit.

I would guess it is because of the way the press (including their own incidentally) spins, sensationalises and simply lies for its own selfish needs.
Can you imagine if the Sun or the Star got access to her?

'I CAN'T GO TO THE LIU WITHOUT BEING WATCHED' says wife of Nobel winner.

'WE HAD A GREAT SEX LIFE BEFORE HE WAS TAKEN TO A MEN ONLY PRISON, I AM SURE HE IS NOT GAY!' says Mrs Liu (45)

etc, etc.

Steel barricades round the red tops to keep the journos in would be a better idea!

Couldn't have said it better myself. I mean, can you imagine if people were allowed to say whatever they want and have the general public have to THINK about it? Better just have one person, the one in power obviously, to tell the ignorant masses how to think and what is actually important.

Glossary:

Red Top: Sensationalist tits and bums publications used by owners like the dirty digger to manipulate the less well educated Brit into voting him even more power and wealth.
journos: Journalists. In this case those who work for the above.
spin: Taking a story, for example the protection of a prison inmates wife, and rewriting it such that the brainless hordes believe the opposite.
Sensationalise: Reducing everything to tits and bums.
Lie: What G.W. Bush did solidly for eight long years.
ignorant masses: America

You cannot imagine it, because your government forbids you to know what WikiLeaks exposed.

Your general public is renowned for ignorance, so their opinion is as worthless as your impotent military.

As to thought, you demonstrably have no capacity for intellectual pursuits.

Most amusing.
