[quote=JSUMMERS83,333970]I don't understand why the Chinese government doesn't get that the more it protests and cries over a small prize that honestly before this month I had never heard of, the more it shoots itself in the foot.

The only reason this "Hu" story made its way all over the world is because news agencies were carrying the story about how the Chinese government was threatening, complaining, and basically belly-aching.  Come on, China...you're the big boy in this world playground...there's no need for all that.

As for Griz and Dodger earlier in this thread, I completely understand your fondness for this country you live in (or lived in), but give me a break!  I agree, we need to clean up our own back yards, but all they did was honor an activist with an unknown prize.  If you ask me that's a very small thing to do, and yet you're acting as if they've stormed the capital.  One reason that China has made the progress that it has thus far is because of worldwide attention on its problems.  It is a tool that can and should be used to help those who can't easily be helped, whether they are in China or any other country in the world.[/quote]
