'Nineteen countries' shun Nobel

[luckyyy]

No karthic, I still believe we should not rush things up.

One gets numerous chances to make enemies but not many to make friends.

the second person is not intrested.....

 

[Spring Onion]

CD and CS... You both tell us that you are/were pro-Indian. But when it comes to China you are anti-everything without rhyme or reason.

mmmm but you have registered just few days back so how do you know what they said in the past?


and if they are Chinese they are suppose NOT to support India at the cost of their own country

Very well then. Let's enjoy the forced animosity.

Probably one is in Canada and one is sitting in Hong Kong.

Come inside PRC and then tell about that.

Pitty those Chinese Members who are inside PRC and want to speak Freely.

No Jack, I am all for Indo-China Partnership (Freindship will never happen) but then as one Chinese member said, Reality is a Bad Bi*** and I dont want to get kicked by it.

Deal with China from a position of strength (we are capable of that) not as a junior partner ---- Heed to their concerns if they heed to your own.

I dont believe in this BS of India just agreeing to all and those Chinese hubris just playing again and again.

That's right, China is not interested in anything India has to offer except more raw materials.

India can sit in a quagmire like it always has, and watch the promise of future economic growth vanish.

 

[StingRoy]

Nothing is childish only if you read the phrase with its entire sentence where China said it wont get pressurised by Clowns" And thats what matters.

And using the word "Clown" is a very mature act in an official statement?

they could have easly done it at the cost of a terrorist group...but they choose not to do it....

His logic is rather simple. They don't agree with me, therefore they must be wrong.

Actually, talking to someone like you was more than enough.

So go back to your villages and sit on the grass, and stare at your cows too.

Alright emoticon boy, I'll leave this for when Chinese members living in the mainland log on.

This is one of those many situations where Occam's razor does not apply...

Ignoring Chinese threat, India to attend Liu's Nobel night​

Most invited countries, including India will attend Friday's Nobel peace prize ceremony in Oslo for jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, Nobel Institute director Geir Lundestad said on Tuesday, contradicting a statement from China.

"You only have to look at the figures. The vast majority of countries invited will be represented," said Lundestad.

According to the Nobel Institute, 44 embassies have accepted invitations to the event while 19 have refused "for various reasons" and two have not replied.

China said earlier that the vast majority of countries would not attend the ceremony in honour of Liu, described by Beijing as a criminal.

The Nobel Institute traditionally invites all ambassadors posted in Oslo to the Nobel prize ceremony.

China has threatened there will be "consequences" for countries that show their support for Liu by attending the event.

Besides China, the countries who have declined to participate in Friday's ceremony in the Oslo city hall are: Afghanistan, Colombia, Cuba, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Sudan, Tunisia, Ukraine, Venezuela, Vietnam.

Algeria and Sri Lanka had not yet responded to their invitations by the end of the day Monday.

In Beijing, China's foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu meanwhile told reporters Tuesday "the vast majority of the international community will not attend the ceremony."

"More than 100 countries support us," he said, calling the members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee "clowns."

The Nobel organisers meanwhile stressed there were various reasons why some countries would not attend. Russia for instance has said scheduling difficulties rather than political considerations were keeping it away.

The Nobel Institute has also pointed out that when the largely uncontroversial 2008 prize was awarded to Martti Ahtisaari, 10 embassies did not attend.

Liu, a writer, was jailed in December 2009 for 11 years on subversion charges after co-authoring "Charter 08", a manifesto that spread quickly on the Internet calling for political reform and greater rights in China.

The laureate himself, who remains in prison, will not be able to attend and neither will his wife, Liu Xia, who has been held in house arrest since the prize was announced in October.

An empty chair, a photograph and one of his texts read by Norwegian actress Liv Ullman will represent Liu at the ceremony.

 

[CardSharp]

There you go.

 

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I'd rather just ignore you (plural) to be honest.

Then go ahead and do it. Unless you're waiting for my permission.

Well in that case, permission granted.

Ignoring Chinese threat, India to attend Liu's Nobel night​

China has threatened there will be "consequences" for countries that show their support for Liu by attending the event.

As expected ... nothing surprising....

But what is this threat for "consequenses"? or is it just the media?
