Chinese Peace Prize? Is it chincy and falls apart with a minimum of handling?

Ya see Hitler, Mao and Stalin are dead so their eligability is questionable.

Is this any crazier than Barack Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize?

The main difference the way I see it is that Mugabe got his award after he destroyed a nation and Obama got his award just as he was starting to destroy a nation.

Zimbabwe and its resources - for sale to the highest bidders..................................... My first thought exactly! What is in the ground? What crops can be grown? China sees resources, resources means $$$$ to them, be it crops or minerals. They are all over Africa with their $$$$$ investing in African resources. Strategic control is the goal.

Not like our nobel peace prize given to a man because of the color of his skin and nothing more

The Confucius Peace Prize, set up in 2010 after the Nobel original was awarded to a Chinese dissident infuriating the ruling Communist Party

The Chinese Communist Party Leadership seems to always react like petulant little children in the face of every perceived "insult".

The Logo of China's Noble Prize is the "Pander Bear"!

China has awarded its home-grown equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize to Robert Mugabe, the man accused of driving Zimbabwe into poverty during his rule of more than three decades.

So, China's "Nobel Prize" is as meaningless and stupid as ours.

Points for consistency.
