The Geopolitical Agenda behind the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize

With almost flawless political timing, the
Nobel Peace Prize Committee of the Norwegian Parliament announced the
giving of the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize to Chinese critic, political
activist Liu Xiaobo. The announcement came just as US Treasury Secretary
Timothy Geither was upping the pressure on the government of China to
agree to a substantial revaluation of the Yuan, a move that would do
little for the embattled dollar but cause great harm to China’s economy.
The Nobel Prize theater is part of an escalating long-term pressure
strategy of Washington against China.

 

The award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Liu Xiaobo
was clearly no coincidence of events. Rather it must be understood in
my view as a calculated part of a long-term strategy, not from a few
members of the Norwegian Parliament, but from the leading elite circles

The question as to why US powerful circles chose this moment to escalate pressure on the Peoples’ Republic of China by awarding the Peace Prize to Liu Xaiobo is evident from the recent emergence of China as a strong and dynamically-growing world economy at the same time that the United States sinks into the worst economic depression in more than two hundred years of its existence.

Official US strategic policy remains that elaborated in the September 2002 National Security Strategy of the United States, sometimes termed the Bush Doctrine which states that "America’s political and military mission in the post-cold-war era will be to ensure that no rival superpower is allowed to emerge in Western Europe, Asia or the territories of the former Soviet Union." That formulation has been explicit Pentagon doctrine since 1992 [9].

The reason China is being targeted? Simply because China today exists, and exists as a dynamically emerging world factor in economics and politics, creating foreign alliances to support that growth in places like Sudan or Iran where Washington has less control. At his point China’s existence as a dynamic stable nation is a growing strategic threat to the United States, not because China threatens war as Washington is doing all round the world. The threat is that the United States and those who dominate its policy lose that global hegemonic position as China, Russia, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization countries of Central Asia as well as countless other countries move toward a far more diverse multi-polar world. According to the Bush Doctrine and US strategic geopolitics, that further dynamic must be prevented at all costs now while it is still possible. The recent escalation of sanctions against Iran by the UN Security Council under strong US pressure had less to do with Iran and its nuclear ambitions than with the fact that Iran is a strategic economic partner of China."
