OSLO - A Norwegian politician has nominated the"people of Hong Kong" for the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize, in a move which risks drawing China's ire.
In an interview published by newspaper Aftenposten on Wednesday, Melby explained that"what they do has an impact far beyond Hong Kong, both in the region and in the rest of the world". Millions have taken to the streets of Hong Kong, initially against a now-dropped bid by its leaders to allow extraditions to the Chinese mainland.
Activists say freedoms are being eroded by Beijing, contrary to a deal that outlined Hong Kong's 1997 return to China from British colonial rule.
Lulwut
What a retard idea. What's the definition of ‘Peace’? Blood streaming down police officer’s face? Burning MTR stations n banks? Smashed shops n stores? Molotov cocktails n bombs? The protesters are hurting themselves more than the government n have no clue what they really want.
Bruh peaceful protest
That they're anti-Chinese endears them to the West. Objective observers will see the rioting thugs that they are.
How come!!!!Noble prize always go to the good person
With this nomination, Nobel has officially insulted past winners of the Peace Prize. I hope the People of Hong Kong wins it. If not they will start a demonstration in front of the Nobel office. If they don't get what they want......
panuw The ones stabbing cops in the throat, derailing trains, and destroying property? Or the ones holding back from wiping them off the streets? HongKong NobelPeacePrize
Honestly right now it’s anything but peaceful on both sides
Which HK people? Blue or yellow? Need to be clear . There is a difference.
Best joke of the year.
