The real reason he was given this prize was to encourage his work as a pawn for foreign and western governments to undermine the greater Chinese Society and to create discord amongst the Chinese people.<br /><br />Liu Xiaobo is a traitor and a sellout like his entire generation whose only accomplishments consists of helping Mao destroy chinese culture as the Red Guard and shoving young students in front of tanks to save their own miserable lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168390023557708961.post-47048606995819121102010-10-11T14:16:11.148+08:002010-10-11T14:16:11.148+08:00countries and people both need to make highly comp...countries and people both need to make highly complicated moral and legal decisions at all times. the calculus behind how one determines when a law is unjust and what one does after one makes that determination is incredibly complicated. <br /><br />many great (and not-so-great) men and women, including liu, have been more than willing to face the consequences of ostensibly illegal activity for the pursuit of what they believe to be a higher good. this is a moral dilemma that transcends law. <br /><br />in that way, your comment is informative but perhaps ultimately not helpful in answering the larger question, which is "to what extent are liu's illegal actions just and/or pardonable?" although i'll grant you that US actions on this front are highly problematic, and we should probably be far less willing to grant a country (with its competing interests) the benefit of the doubt than we would to civil rights activists.Seth Gurgelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03722652884203904191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4168390023557708961.post-1642007690388627112010-10-11T13:58:36.734+08:002010-10-11T13:58:36.734+08:00Liu Xiaobo has received hundreds of thousands of U...Liu Xiaobo has received hundreds of thousands of US government funding via the NED in the past five years to conduct domestic political activity in China (including advocating abolition of China’s constitution.) Check NED’s China grants for Independent Chinese Pen Center and Minzhu Zhongguo magazine, which Liu heads.<br /><br />If Liu were American he would be in violation of FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act). Ron Paul had once commented “What the NED does in foreign countries… would be rightly illegal in the United States”.bobby fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988368193662201410noreply@blogger.com
