Setting aside the fact that it’s nothing more than a booby prize and that no one has ever heard of the guy, there is still the problem of China being upset and will most likely take it out on him. Not so great a move there, Prize Committee.

It's blasphemy for the Chinese government to use the word blasphemy.
Of course, to communist the state is their god....
This also goes for the NEA, the EPA, most of BrainWashington....

*The Nobel Peace prize is as worthless as a cracker jack prize, lighten up china, you take the stupid prize way too seriously. Its a joke boys.*
It’s a shame that someone who deserves what the prize USED TO BE finally gets it after the sham of giving one to snake oil salesman Al “millions of degrees” Gore and the Pretender in Chief.

Get over it, China! We weren’t happy with the selection from our country either for the same reason. Criminal.

*Were algore, Baracko and Jimmy Carter not eligible?*
Or perhaps posthumous awards to Saul Alinsky or Nicolae Ceausescu???

May I suggest to our communist sympathizing media, that it is the Chinese GOVERNMENT that is angry, not China. I suspect that “China”, that is the people who live in China, are for the most part thrilled. All credit to the Nobel committee for getting one right for a change.

Chinese regime stuck their neck out to see any sign of Chinese getting its first Nobel Prize in science, which would make great propaganda. China indeed got its first Nobel Prize but the recipient is rotting in jail. This is simply a disaster for Chicom. Chinese people will hear about PRC’s first Nobel Prize recipient not from proud government media but rumors filtering in from outside.

I find it (mildly) amusing when newsdroids use “country X” as a shorthand for “the ruling class of country X.”
Either they are using a journalistic shorthand for the sake of the headline, or they really think that way.
I think they really think that way.

Why do we keep doing things to make China mad??
China is our friend. I know this because George Bush said that if we have free trade with China and give it “most favored nation” trading status, it would make China a more democratic country.
And it did....... right?
So don’t upset China, because that’s baaaaad. They might stop buying our stuff. oops... I forgot.... sorry......China doesn’t buy our stuff anyway...... even when it’s not mad.
Well....... nevermind.

Muhammad Yunus, Frederik Willem de Klerk and Nelson Mandela were fairly good choices.

Even the neo-Stalinists in Beijing will not be able to suppress this bit of good news. It is our profound hope that the Nobel committee's honor to Mr. Liu will inspire the people of China to continue to pursue their freedom and inherit their birthright of a government that rules by the will of the people and not by the tyranny of a corrupt elite.

That would be Newt's "Contract With America" Congress.
