Liu Xiaobo is the first person to get a Nobel Prize with the Chinese nationality. However, ironically, the Chinese government blocked the new, because Liu Xiaobo is being prisoned for political reasons. What do you think?
P.S. As the majority in AG is American, I expect three pages of pure troll.
On topic though this doesn't surprise me considering we're talking about a nation that censors Youtube, google and all other fun things.
Well, technically Youtube allows countries to block certain videos. In example Germany can block Hitler videos because of the things he did. The videos can still be watched, but not in Germany. As for the Google blockade. I have nothing to say on that.
[quote]How is it that MLK Jr. received one but the man he was influenced by was skipped over? (I'm referring to Gandhi of course)
Either magic or great bouts of stupidity.[/quote] That.
The nobel prize should be given to that chinaman, even though his government has him imprisoned for irrational reasons. They should be honored that one of their people is receiving such an award.
