主题：【纽时连接】今年诺贝尔和平奖给中国人？想不到的反对者 -- 元亨利

Chinese have long been longing for a Nobel Price. We should get one. We deserve one. There is every reason we would. We have a 1.4 billion population base. In every four people on earth there is a Chinese. Therefore the statistics should lean towards us.

The candidate is none other than Liu XiaoBo, the no.1 dissident who has been imprisoned in China. Understandably, Chinese government opposes the nomination. A messenger has been dispatched and a message delivered to the relevant Norway authorities. What would surprise most people is that there is another concerned party that is against it. And it is the most unlikely ally of Chinese government:the overseas Chinese dissidents.
