It seems that a Chinese citizen, Liu Xiaobo, has won the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize. Congrats to him. It also seems that the Chinese government is not too happy about this and appears to be suppressing all information in their control about the issue as well as not releasing the Liu from jail and putting his wife under house arrest.
I encourage you all to read about this.
