The Chinese Communist Party is like the emperors of old China. They don't ever want to be questioned or criticized and they want the all world to kowtow to them & acknowledge their "greatness."

The book fair is symptomatic of the way in which Beijing attempts to silence and marginalize dissident, increasingly using its influence to get other agents to carry out their wishes. The dissidents must be helped and encouraged where ever they can. This should include due reward for their dangerous work; there are several candidates worthy of a Nobel Prize, foremost among them Hu Jia.
