    And still the Chinese go after the Norwegian Government for having a country where The Nobel Committee give out the Peace Price to a person fighting for human rights. We, Im Norwegian, try to tell them that a committee is free to do what ever they want, but they still send formal complaints, boycott trade agreements and generally behave like the biggest bully in kindergarten.

    *troll, me?*

    Yes, the noble prize people must be indeed very noble.

    They gave the peace prize to Hussein Obama, didn't they?
