The Noblest Nobel

Finally, someone who actually deserves a Nobel Peace Prize gets it. The Chinese government’s response accentuates the necessity.
I have to think there is a causative relationship between the government lying to the people and the people lying to each other. The reasons only liberal democracies become wealthy (aside from windfall wealth) involve a lot of trust, debate, and painful truth-accepting, which makes me wonder how soon China’s long boom may suddenly crash.
