BEIJING: China's crackdown before next week's Nobel peace prize ceremony has widened to block a well-known artist and an economist who's more than 80-years old from traveling overseas.

Artist Ai Weiwei said he was stopped from getting on a flight from Beijing to Seoul on Thursday night, while economist Mao Yushi said he was prevented from flying to Singapore on Wednesday morning.

Both are supporters of Nobel peace prize winner Liu Xiaobo, who is now serving an 11-year prison sentence for subversion.

"It reminded me of the Cultural Revolution," Mao Yushi posted on his microblog on Thursday. "I'm blocked from going abroad and they say it's for national security. It's the same logic." Ai, an artist said police blocked him at the boarding gate and showed him a handwritten note that said he could cause damage to national security by leaving. AP

WHAahhahahah!!!! he could cause damage to national security by leaving.

What logic is that? Very similar to PAP tactics used when SDP trying to stand up for their rights for the people... with police surrounding them.

It makes the police look so stupid.

that is why as oversea chinese, we have to form a united oversea fighting unit to support the ROC still alive kicking in taiwan to retake china from the communist regime.

once the communist in china topple, the north can be topple easily by the united nation forces combine with the south korean commandos.

then we can have a world without the stupid north!!!
