Frankly speaking, Liu Xiaobo is a extreme rightist in China.
In China, those democary-advocaters are usually called "rightists" while Maoist-advocaters are usually called "leftists".
Those guys who advocates complete westernization are called "extreme rightists" ,such as Liu Xiaobo.
Those guys who advocates to resume Maoism are called 'extreme leftists".
Both "extremt rightists" and "extreme leftists" are rejected by Chinese mainstream.
Either "extrem rightists " and "extreme leftists" has their cyber base camps on internet , such as
б-èۿ- (extreme rightists' cyber base camp)
and
http://www.wyzxsx.com/(extreme leftists' cyber base camp).
Both "extreme rightists" and "extreme leftists" are natural enemies ,but strangely they have common in hating CCP today.
"extreme rightists" such as Liu Xiaobo hate CCP for they think CCP is the evil obstagle of complete westernization.
"extreme leftists" bash CCP ,for they think CCP today is the traitor and revisionists.
However, to my surpise, CCP doesn't censor their cyber base Camps such as "http://club3.kdnet.net/list.asp?boardid=1(CCP-hater's cyber base camp)" and "http://www.wyzxsx.com/(extreme leftists' cyber base camp). "
