Ask HN: China are doing great

Liu Xiaobo has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work on human rights in China. It has however aggravated the Chinese government, such that all major western media are being censored as we speak by the national firewall. Should we acknowledge this prize? Or should we rather pay respect to the regime that has governed the Chinese people with marvelous economical growth the last two decades? Do China need democracy and freedom of speech? Its been said that; never change a winning team. And China is currently the fastest growing nation on the face of the earth, economically. So why should we, the western society tell them how the game of life and existence is played? Is it envy?
