and locking up the winner and his wife...
and encouraging countries to boycott...

They also created their own peace prize to compete!

Who should they nominate? I think Kim Jung Un might just get lucky!

I think they should nominate the Wu Tang clan.

I stopped scrolling and just stared forward at this message.

+1 But only if they bring Zombie ODB along to eat chinese brains.

To go against the grain im going to say they should nominate ghostface killa for his solo career.

I approve of this.

Zombie Bruce Lee is also an acceptable answer.

Clearly the Wu Tang Clan has done much to earn the Zombie Peace Award in China.







They are also savy in financial matters!

Oh. Right.

In that case, Al Gore. Or Barack Obama. Or, whatever, anybody with a (D) next to their name. And then Charles Taylor, just for some of that international "wait, WHO" type of magic the Nobel people have shown over the years.

Well, it's the 16th anniversary of the Karamy fire, in which Chinese Communist Officials fled the burning building, leaving 288 children inside to burn to death, with the exit doors locked. Give this award to some of those guys.

Julian Assange

I think China feel the nobel peace prize is doing the equivalent to China.

The BBC interviewed the son of Lech Walesa. He said this is the first time a government has been successfully able to do this and that the Western powers are afraid of China, not just economically, but politically now. he said his dad would love to accept it for the winner, like another person accepted for him when he was unable to leave the country.

The director of this.

Yeltsa Kcir

Oh you dick.

I know, who's next Teddy Roosevelt? Henry Kissinger?

Wow, per NPR China managed to get a coalation of dictators to boycott. Why do we trade with the communists and ship all our jobs there again?

Because Ningpo is a vital asset to US national security and we need to support it.

Here's a kicker...

RUSSIA would like Assange to get a Nobel Peace Prize.

The Russian Government is entitled to nominate him, so if they are that keen on him, they should do it.

The Russian government can also veto things on the Security Council, so if they are keen on that, they should do it.

They do when they want to, as do the other Security Council members.

The point is that the Prime Minister of Russia has suggested that someone ought to put Assange forwards, and he can do it himself, so why doesn't he do it if he thinks it is a good idea?.

It's possible it is a part of a political row with the US after the back door deals America makes became open for all to see.

Remember: Wikileaks found America backing a defense plan for Batlic states against Russia while America was talking with Russia about closer NATO ties.

I think Russia is just having a bit of a go at us. The announced that they wanted him nominated (though didn't actually nominate him), went back to the green room and laughed and laughed.

How long will we live after we nominate the Dalai Lama for a lifetime award.

Dalai Lama won in 1989, but the Chicoms were a bit busy with other stuff that year to throw a hissy fit.

The next Dalai Lama gets to be picked by China, at least i recall the Chinese government saying something to that effect. That one will probably win the award when the time comes.

I lost the site but apparently the awards were a dismal failure.

I wish it was just dictators but the list is:

China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Colombia, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Serbia, Iraq , Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Venezuela, the Philippines, Egypt, Sudan, Ukraine, Cuba and Morocco.

Sure some of them are predictable but others are democracies that had to fight for human rights. I mean the Philippines and Serbia don't want to side with a human rights activist in jail? Really?

Good old wikileaks, destabilizing world peace since it's inception! Given the abject failures of russian spies in the US recently, I suppose it would make sense that they would nominate someone doing their job for free. Hell, putting got called the ultimate mafia don and batman by wikileaks, he's gotta be happy with them.

Because they have a stronger economy than we do and our laws don't penalize US business for treating foreign powers preferentially in the face of sub standard wages as well as working conditions.


TLDR its cheaper for corporations to outsource jobs to country's that we may or may not be aligned with ideologically. This is a huge problem.
