China: Will a Nobel Peace Prize really hurt our feelings?
It couldn't have been all so bad when Gao Xingjian was awarded the Nobel prize in Literature in 2000; Zhu Rongji congratulated the former Chinese citizen at the time, and Wikipedia maintains that his winning the Nobel Prize in its 100th anniversary year is a happy occasion for Chinese literature, even with his works having been banned in China.
Now in 2008 that Hu Jia is rumored to be a top contender for this year's Nobel Peace Prize, the news was at least reported, although quickly harmonized away, leaving just those which bear Liu Jianchao‘s harmonious talking point that a Nobel Peace Prize for Hu will without doubt hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, and just the rumor of it already has.
The relevant Anti-CNN post, using a Deutsche Welle report, still stands; some comments:
“诺贝尔和平奖”已经成了一个笑话。囧
现在是谁反华最凶，谁得诺贝尔和平奖，这个由西方国家控制的国际著名奖项的针对性还真强啊，我们中国想崛起太不容易了，希望祖国加油，她们越这样做，我们应该更团结。
过于愤怒？是严重鄙视吧！sb们爱咋地咋地。
是真的鄙视…
这个和平，让我再一次看到了虚伪…
If you call this peace, then all I see is more hypocrisy…
若贝尔奖已经变异！变成反华奖！真是笑话！
回应它作甚？记住就是了．ＤＬＬＭ不是２０年前就得了，搞３.１４的暴徒就是他，自己扇了主子的大嘴巴．
真令人怀疑，若贝尔和平奖评审人员是不是被阉割过？？怎么这么荒唐呀？？！！
若贝尔和平奖=阴谋 颠覆 政府奖?
西方人真正是掩耳盗铃啊，一边还幻想中国去救市一边还对中国说三道四的，难道我们中国人好欺负吗

Although I am relieved that Obama got elected. We need Democrat to control the executive and Congress for a change!
I still see the American society’s prejudice against women and old age! Look at the bashing of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. Poor Palin! Poor McCain, at 72 is treated like a piece trash even though he served the USA, and he got tortured overseas for five years for his patriotic service.

I can not but make a few remarks about your holier-than-thou words. By which approach r u on earth informed with ur knowldges about China? What evidence r u holding to claim that people who took the opposite side to u, or who just gave the country her due here are dumb and CCP people trolling the net? I’m an ordinary Chinese citizen. I take a job in a finance Co.I’m fed up with ur ignorant & hostile slander about our country and even chinese youth! U’ve always been boasting of ur objective and justice, while u’ve always been indoctrinated inumerable distorted news about China, and u just accept what u r willing to accept in an arrogant and over self-assured manner. Why not just go to China and see her with ur own eyes? U suggested we should why there is so much western criticism. And I’d like to suggest u ever took a step back, broadened ur narrowed views and actually wondered why there is so much chinese criticism? Do u have a knowedge of the existence of another eastern values? R u really aquaited with the life style we chinese citizens prefer, thus respectful to this ? Admittedly, there’s margin for our country and government to make promotion in economicly and politically. In my view, every govern’ on the world is by no means perfect. While we’r doing our utmost to improve the current situation, what r u doing now? Invasion to the small but abundant with crude oil counties? I just wonder why there r countries like urs that exploit on one side our ecological entironment resources, and on the other hand, demonize us? U know, the statistics here say every product the chinese manufactur for 1 dollar income creat 9 dollar value for the US importers, who gain a gross profit as 3.6 dollar.
What I’m saying means not so much a complaint as an appearl for understanding. We r a moderate and nonaggressive country for thousands of years, and we expect at least comprehension and respect from u, though without ur sense of guilt on ur invasion and robbery of us in the first half of the twentieth century.
