Several governments have declined invitations to attend Friday's ceremony to award imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo the Nobel Peace Prize, the Norwegian Nobel Commission said Tuesday.

The committee said China and 18 other countries have decided not to be represented "for various reasons." It noted that number has tripled from six weeks ago.

The countries joining China in its boycott include Russia, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Venezuela, Cuba, Colombia, Tunisia, Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Pakistan, Egypt, Morocco and the Philippines.

The 58 countries who have embassies in Oslo were invited to attend.

China strongly objected to Liu's win last October and levelled more criticism Tuesday, calling members of the Nobel committee "clowns" who are "interfering in China's judicial affairs."

The 54-year-old writer and academic was jailed in December 2009 to serve an 11-year term for subversion. He was detained just days before the publication of what has turned out to be an explosive political document, Charter 8, which he co-wrote.

Charter 08 calls for an end to one-party rule and the introduction of democratic reforms in China. It was signed, via the internet, by thousands of people, some of them Communist Party officials.

No one is expected to be on hand to accept the award on behalf on Liu. Geir Lundestad, the committee's secretary, said there will be an empty chair and a portrait of Liu on the podium during the ceremony in Oslo.

單單係o甘既話﹐我都會同情姓劉既。

08憲章可是要將中國依各民族地區分裂然後再聯邦成一國﹐做乜報紙又唔講呢?

姓劉既話過﹐中國需要當西方國家殖民地300年。
分裂中國就係要中國當殖民地既第一步。

對要煽動人分裂祖國既奸徒﹐判11年算輕了。

What is wrong to end the one-party rule?
isn't that what Mao advocated  after Sino-Jap war?

呢個就係成件事既精結所在!
共產黨講到明係會一黨專政, 而家共產黨o係中國話哂事, so it is wrong to end the one-party rule.

姓劉既一邊話要結束一黨專政﹐但同時話要將中國四分五裂再結成聯邦。

There are 50+ states in US,
and they have been doing alright for
200 years. Are they falling apart yet?
I cannot see any problem with that

美國係因為各個state 都團結一起﹐才可以由13個原本互不統屬既弱小州分開始﹐慢慢壯大。
壯大的基礎是團結。

中國各省原本就已經連在一起﹐比聯邦制更團結﹐為甚麼要先分開再聯合?
我支持中國聯邦制﹐但係要聯合其他國家﹐例如日本韓國越南泰國﹐甚至台灣。
結成東亞聯邦共和國對抗美國歐盟。
要中國自己分裂再聯邦既即有兩種人。
無知之徒或中國既敵人。
