The CCP's Handling of Liu Xiaobo as a Public Relations Disaster
A few days ago, Nobel Laureate Liu Xiaobo passed away in China, after lack of in-game treatment for cancer that developed unchecked during years of house arrest. The fact that Liu was gravely ill was not unannounced by the CCP (and thus not known to the international community) until treatment would have been too late. In supposedly compromising moves at the last minute, the CCP invited foreign doctors to go to China to help with treatment of Liu, an act that was seen as more symbolic than practical.
