News at Eleven: In 2010, Liu [Xiaobo] became the first

Chinese citizen to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his political activism.

[Perry] Link's translation of Liu's writing not only reveals the many sides of Liu's personality and political ideology, but also provides a glimpse into contemporary Chinese society and views on democracy in the country.

"The Internet," Link said, "is the first medium in the history of the Communist Party in China that the party has not been able to figure out how to control."
