Norway: China cancels meeting, days after Nobel (AP)

October 11th, 2010

Simon Sharpe, the European Union's first secretary of political affairs in China, left, talks to journalists after he was prevented by security personnel from entering a residential compound where Liu Xia, the wife of this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, is held under house arrest in Beijing on Monday, Oct. 11, 2010. Liu Xia confirmed in a Twitter message that she had been placed under house arrest since Friday. (AP Photo/Ng Han Guan)AP - Norway said Monday that China has called off a meeting with the Norwegian fisheries minister just days after Beijing warned that the Nobel Peace Prize award to a jailed Chinese dissident would harm relations between the countries.
