Long enough to collect the money, be reincarcerated and the money confiscated by the state.
Hmmm, I think killing a Nobel Peace Prize winner would be viewed quite dimly by most of the world. Not that it matters; the so-called 'international community' has never done a bloody thing about the Chinese government's enslavement of its own people, and certainly nothing for Tibet. Quite the opposite; most western governments seem to enjoy licking the arses of the Chinese government to keep business going, and because we all owe tuliploads of money to China, thanks to the likes of Mr Brown, Mr Bush, Mr B Liar etc, nothing's going to happen.
In a startling turn of events the committee which gives prizes in the memory of the man who invented dynamite has honoured someone who has failed to kill anyone, send suicide squads to murder children, order drone strikes, or plant a tree.
This years Nobel Peace Prize goes to jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. The Norwegian Nobel Committee said he was honoured "for his long and non-violent struggle for fundamental human rights in China," and added that the Committee ' has long believed that there is a close connection between human rights and peace".
There is clearly no fooling this years Committee unlike last year when some people criticised the choice. Barack Obama won despite being nominated just 11 days into his Presidency He went on to surge troops into Afghanistan, fail to close Guatnanamo Bay prison, and fire more missiles into Pakistan in one year than George Bush managed in seven. In mitigation he worked hard on nuclear missile reduction and the Israeli/Palestinian talks..........................
How do you reckon the Chinese are going to react to this one?
