Now as we mentioned earlier news about Chinese writer and dissident Liu Xiaobo winning this year's Nobel Peace Prize has almost completely been blocked from China's media and as far as possible from the internet. Posts or blogs mentioning the topic are quickly taken down and apart from a couple of short denunciations of the decision in the official government news agency, newspapers, television and radio have ignored the issue. So has this blanket banning of the news been successful? While Liu is now far better known outside of China than he was a week ago, just how much, if anything does the ordinary Chinese person know about the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel prize. Our researcher Sheila Wang went out on the streets of Beijing to find out.
