My apologies to any Chinese readers who might have happened by, but I couldn't resist a descent into the Vaudeville for this one. The reference, of course, is to the Chinese contention that The Nobel Prize is rigged by the Western Nations for their own political ends, which has led to the Chinese Government instituting their own, alternative, peace prize. Sounds on the face of it, not much different to our spat with F.I.F.A.!

ReplyDeleteGood one.
Sounds like sour grapes to me by the Chinese Government. Most Chinese people support the Nobel Prize i believe.
ReplyDeleteGood job on the haiku here, thanks for sharing!
