China wants to be part of the world but doesn't want to comply w/ int'l norms about human rights. The CCP's human rights policies are very backward & getting worse every year. If China wants to be respected, it must improve human rights in China, Tibet & Xinjiang.

The so-called "Confucius Peace Prize" was an instrument for the PRC's Leninist authoritarian rulers to lash out at the Nobel Prize Committee in retaliation for the latter's awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo. This impulsive and furious reaction from the CCP leaders was widely ridiculed, as might be expected of such a clumsy and transparently political gesture. Moreover, the awardee, Lian Zhan, openly indicated that he had not been informed of winning this prize, and indicated that he was not interested in receiving such a prize. No wonder the prize has been withdrawn. This is yet another public relations disaster for the Hu-Wen CCP leadership.
