Chinese officials have canceled a meeting with a Norwegian minister after the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Peace Prize to jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.
Norwegian authorities said Fisheries Minister Lisbeth Berg-Hansen was already in China today when the planned October 13 meeting with a Chinese vice minister of agriculture was canceled.
China has reacted angrily to the awarding of the peace prize to Liu and warned that it could hurt relations with Norway.
