China paper stirs Nobel prize controversy

HONG KONG, China - Photo shows the front page of the Nanfang Dushi Bao newspaper in Guangdong Province dated Dec. 12, 2010, carrying a photo of a rehearsal for the Asian Para Games' opening ceremony. The selection of the photo showing empty seats has raised speculation that it could be a hidden message supporting imprisoned Nobel peace prize laureate Liu Xiaobo as an empty seat at the closely watched award ceremony in Oslo highlighted his absence. The newspaper flatly denies the rumor. (Kyodo)
