Step 1 : Introduction to the question "4. In 2010, writer and human rights activist Liu Xiaobo came to international prominence when he was awarded which honour?"

...1. Man Booker International Prize 2. Palme d'Or 3. Honorary Degree from Oxford University 4. Nobel Peace Prize An advocate for a gradual change to a more democratic and accountable political system, Liu Xiaobo became the first Chinese person to be awarded a Nobel Prize whilst living in his own country. Unfortunately for him, he was unable to claim the prize personally, as in 2009 he was given an eleven year prison sentence. Not the first time that he had been detained for his views. The Chinese government were not very happy about the committee's decision. A statement made by the foreign ministry said, "The Nobel Peace Prize is meant to award individuals who promote international harmony and friendship, peace and disarmament. Liu Xiaobo is a criminal who has been sentenced by Chinese judicial departments for violating Chinese law. Awarding the Peace Prize to Liu runs completely counter to the principle of the award and is also a desecration of the Peace Prize." China called on countries to boycott the award ceremony, and many did. Of those that did attend, Serbia initially announced that they were boycotting the ceremony, only to do an astonishing U-turn shortly after.
