The peace of development in different state are more or less affected by it's own political, economical, historical and cultural background.

To Beijing, Western human rights pressure seems designed to compromise its legitimacy and this threat might otherwise be considered normal disputes on issue like trade. This raises the concern of interveting other's internal affais. In fact, China and Norwary relationship is jeopardizing. After the award anncancouncement, China had cancelled all meetings at political level, including the ministerial-level meeting with Norergian fisheries minister and a cabinet level political meeting, which also raises concern of the negotiation of free trade agreement between China and Norway.

This is expected that the prize may be a powerful boost for China's human rights development since the Tiananmen crackdown in 1989. By such a controversy debate, peoples awareness inside and outside China would rise. This would worsen the case if the Chinese government insists to block and censor the related news in the newspaper and on the internet.
