A brief addendum to yesterday have taken place Nobel award to Liu Xiaobo. The fact that this is a thorn in Beijing was already explained in previous blog entry to satisfy and is in itself not surprising.
was surprising, however, many Observers, the way to the ceremony by the Chines. Government has been taken. For apart from the "dead silence" - and the censorship method (thousands moralist monitored Internet users on the day of ceremony and separate the signals from Internationl TV news channels, when a report was sent to the Nobel Prize) was one in Beijing in the short term to conclude a separate peace prize Confucius price at launch - an event that was subsequently to embarrassment to exceed unlikely, and that for several reasons:
First, because the idea of \u200b\u200bConfucius Prize officially chines made by a group unknown. said to have been invented professors and intellectuals, who repeated the mantra that they of course absolutely nothing with the chines. Government supposed to do. Where does the prize money of more than 100,000 yuan (about 11 400 €), then in the end came, and why the Confucius ceremony Just one day was scheduled before the Nobel awards ceremony, was the esteemed gentlemen explain to journalists at a hastily convened press conference, not then, however.
What we have at point two would be, the fact that a bundle of money is the price itself. Not only is it absurd is the symbol of materialism - money - with the idealistic value to bring peace in name, this philosophical perversity shows, especially concerning the setting of the chines. Government that was solved with money alone everything and is also reflected in the everyday domestic policy and the reasoning with respect to the sole claim to power of the party: As the saying goes: there are any inequities, but thanks to the party in such high economic growth and wealth resulting from the population should be enough to these inconsistencies to compensate .
Third, because China had said a few weeks ago, the Nobelopreis have important lost because he was now degenerated into a political instrument - and exactly with his own Confucius Prize will implement this allegation in practice. Because the winner is none other than Lien Chan, who from 1996 to 2000 Vice President of Taiwan (which is known to be regarded by China as a renegade province) and strongly spoke out against Taiwan independence and for greater cooperation with mainland China. So much for "political tool".
Fourthly, on top of it as a kind of the icing, Lie Chan was not even notified regarding the ceremony knew nothing about it and therefore was also the day the award ceremony answer, of course, not on site at the price. Instead, took a little girl with a ponytail against the bundle of money, their relation to Lie Chan remained concealed to the audience today.
Fifth, because of the Confucius Prize is run with a fairly high probability over time in the sand and perhaps some form half years or even never will be awarded. It could also be quite possible that the said price in the future as a practical instrument of propaganda is herauskristalisieren for the party. Thus, one could give the public more easily how the "decent Chinese citizens' right to behave and the way it would have to divert even more a feel-good message on the evening news to the daily problems and injustices in the daily lives of many Chinese.
