China's censors raced today to scrub social media networks of candles, RIP and other tributes to Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo as they seek to silence discussion about the prominent dissident's death.

China on Friday rejected foreign criticism over the death of Nobel laureate and dissident Liu Xiaobo, saying it was a domestic matter and "all-out" efforts had been made to treat him.

The hospital treating China's cancer-stricken Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo offered a grim update on his health on Wednesday, but human rights groups cautioned that the authorities may be manipulating the medical reports.

US and German medical experts who examined Chinese Nobel Peace laureate Liu Xiaobo said today it was safe to transport him abroad for cancer treatment, contradicting the assertions of Chinese doctors.
