First Chinese Nobel Prize

Yesterday morning I saw with great relief that the Norwegian government did not cave in to Chinese pressure and was not intimidated by the threat from last week and gave this year's Nobel Peace award to a Chinese political prisoner.

The award is undoubtedly indeed really very significant and meaningful.
A historing turning-point.
