Dharamshala: The Chinese Government has come under increased pressure this week for political freedom both nationally and internationally. It began on Monday as Tibetan spiritual leader His Holiness the Dalai Lama highly criticized China's opposition to the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Liu Xiaobo, stating that they did "not appreciate different opinions". It continued today as the Japanese Prime Minister publicly stated that "From the viewpoint that universal human rights should be protected across national borders, it is desirable" that Liu Xiaobo be released.
