Yuan Longping, the “father of hybrid rice,” is one of the strongest symbols of peace in China and across the world. Yet it was not this renowned Chinese scientist who was bestowed with the Nobel Peace Prize, it was Liu Xiaobo, a Chinese dissident.
“By awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo the Norwegian Nobel Committee wanted to underscore the fundamental connection between developing democracy and creating and securing peace,” said Norwegian Nobel Committee Chair Berit Reiss-Andersen.
That statement suggests a political motivation. Democracy is a powerful ideology that divides the world into two parts, with Western democracies on the “good” side and non-Western countries on the other side. People who subscribe to this ideology believe that Western democracies are superior to and generally more peaceful than any other regime type. This powerful ideology no doubt played a role in the Nobel Committee’s decision.
Chinese authorities argue that Liu Xiaobo had long engaged in illegal activities aimed at overthrowing the current government and undermining the current political system. He was sentenced in December 2009 to 11 years in prison for inciting subversion of state power. The 61-year-old man was released on medical parole and moved to a hospital in the northeast Chinese city of Shenyang where he died of multiple organ failure after being diagnosed with liver cancer.
The unfortunate situation has left many Chinese wondering why a prestigious international award that is meant to symbolize peace would be used promote a powerful ideology in China. “Why don’t they give [a] Nobel [Peace] Prize to this great man?” asked one reader on the People’s Daily Online website, after reading a story about Yuan Longping, who is leading a research to cultivate new strains of high yield "sea rice," a breed that can withstand water with a salinity of up to 0.8 percent, with a yield over 300 kilograms per mu (a Chinese unit equivalent to 666 square meters). “He achieved something great for 200 million people,” the reader added. “It’s people like him who deserve the Peace Prize,” a different reader replied.
