Once the peace prize is handed out there will be no peace any more
I've been to Norway nearly one decade ago for 32 hours. It is a tiny country, but it has a big airport in Oslo. Salmon is widely available even in small restaraunts and the Norwegians like snow skiing. They live a carefree but dull life. Norway is like a small room, but any Norwegian is like a big elephant in the room. To me it's like a kid contracted hyperkinesis. They are always craving for big bang. How? They decide to do those erratic things to attract world attention. Today they champion human rights, tomorrow they broke peace deal in Sri Lanka, all in an archaic way. All failed. How next? They are one member of Western ideology. They want very much to play brokers.
In 1989, against the resentment of the majority of Chinese people they handed out the Nobel Peace Prize to the 14th Dalai Lama when almost all the western countries were pouring dirty water to China.
In 2010, sensing the rising of the awakening lion in the East this tiny Gulliver country jumps out to name and shame China by handing out the prize to criminal Liu Xiaobo. This tiny nation's superpower dream is done. But at most it turns out only to be another puppet in the hands of the superpower.
Once the peace prize is handed out, there will be no peace any more. More blame is expected from anti-China media and political opportunists throughout the world. But China has pursued its own way of development for 5000 years and it will move forward regardless of whatever turbulance lying ahead. This is merely one episode.
