China has angrily condemned the decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo.
The Beijing government summoned the Norwegian ambassador in protest. It called Mr Liu a "criminal", saying the award violated Nobel principles and could damage relations with Norway.
The Norwegian Nobel committee said Mr Liu was "the foremost symbol" of the struggle for human rights in China.
US President Barack Obama called for Mr Liu's immediate release.
