From the opinion piece that you quoted from the Guardian - "Imprisoning Liu was entirely unnecessary. If Liu's politics were well-known, most people would not favour him for a prize, because he is a champion of war, not peace. "
Even if he's a pro-war (of other countries) activist who vouched for "Western-style political system in China and privatisation of all enterprises and farm land" (again from the article), what did he do to deserve 11 yrs of sentencing, in which he served 8 years of, and not getting adequate attention of any sort as a human being, stripping his wife off of the freedom to see friends and communicate because of his situation, and end up getting terminal liver cancer when he has regular medical checks?
多角度思考 - Am I supposed to think that PRC is benevolent, that it lets an inmate out to get medical treatment 6-9 months before he is destined to die? It will take me a lot time to comprehend and spin it around.
Don't bother replying.
