There are two core issues: 1. Liu is not acceptable by a lot of Chinese people due to his aggressive words on colonial and slavers. 2. Liu was sentenced by the gov due to "subversion". So to judge Liu, we have to look from at least two different angles, not just "he was sentenced". Few people thinks 2 is right. I, personally, do not agree on 2 too. And I am now thinking why most people outside China only know about 2 when they try to judge about Liu?

Freedom of speech isn't such a hard concept to understand. Even if you disagree with someone, you don't put them in prison.

  Hmm, if Trump speaks for the Russian, persuading the Americans that the US should be colonized by the Russians for 300 years, would you think he should be free doing his presidential business? Especially after he (for example's sake) got awarded some Russian prizes? If he only expresses some views of his, it's probably OK if he's not influential. If he got awarded some prize that's important worldwide and sometimes awarded to POTUS, well, it's totally a different thing.

    Would I think it was good? No. Would that alone be enough that I would ask him to be imprisoned? Never. You're confusing a dislike of his opinions for justification for jailing him, yet again.

  This has been repeatedly explained: he was not jailed for what he said. His very offensive comments should not get him jailed but with those words in mind, do you think he deserve the nobel peace prize? If you are interested in how he was jailed, search google, there are tons of articles there.

    Hello, I did google it and all I got was he was jailed for 11 years after being convicted of a mysterious charge called "Inciting subversion of state power (煽动颠覆国家政权罪)". It's not a charge that means a lot to those educated in the west, who would probably view it as a thought crime charge. Can you explain its use and value better?

    Why are you avoiding explaining what he was jailed for?
