Irony is Liu Xiaobo may well have to come to the defense of Rush Limbaugh or Mark Levin or Dennis Prager if Obama and Co get their way...

Any people who hates China Should support Communist, and vice versa.

Thanks, these are exactly the words I have been looking for.

So the question is : will he get purged, or is change actually possible

Let's hope Wen won't end up like Zhao ziyang in 1989.

It's just ass backwards to think of the sheer manpower and resources this country is investing to make sure as few people as possible know that one of their citizens won the Nobel Peace Prize.

"that Liu’s wife—who had been hoping to visit him Saturday and tell him the news of the award—has “disappeared” and he is worried she may be in police custody"

Just what I expected! If you think about then the Chinese government isn't so different from the Gestapo!

Neither. This is typical of their good-cop, bad-cop routine that's been going on for some time. It keeps the hoi polloi off balance.

On related news, Prime Minister Wen says basically the same stuff as Liu, on CNN. "I believe freedom of speech is indispensable for any country ... I often say that we should not only let people have the freedom of speech. We, more importantly, must create conditions to let them criticize the work of the government," he said.

And I actually believe he is sincere. So the question is : will he get purged, or is change actually possible.

Instead of irritation, China should be proud, chinese people should be proud! Because it is very normal,very natural to be proud when someone of your people receives this Nobel Prize honor.

"Chinese authorities, who called Liu a criminal"

The Chinese authorities are the criminals, not Liu.

No word from Imprisoned person...because no freedom no voice inside jail. One thing good her wife will go to collect Prize money, that is something very important.
