have disbanded a group which set up what was billed as the Chinese equivalent of the Nobel Peace Prize, scrapping the prize, which was only awarded once, ahead of the December 2010 award ceremony in Oslo for jailed dissident Liu Xiaobo.The organizers of the Confucius Peace Prize, who awarded the prize to former Taiwan vice-president Lien Chan in his absence, two days ahead of Liu's controversial award, have now been told by the ministry that they lack official permission to promote the event.
