And that statements by members of the Nobel Committee and staff are not made on behalf of the Norwegian authorities.
Og at uttalelser fra komiteens medlemmer og tilsatte ikke er på vegne av norske myndigheter.
The Storting – the Norwegian parliament – selects the members of the Nobel Committee.
Stortinget velger medlemmene av Nobelkomiteen.
It is Norway’s view that development in the direction of democracy, the rule of law and universal human rights is the best basis for a stable society.
Det er norsk syn at en utvikling i retning av demokrati, rettsstat og universelle menneskerettigheter gir best grunnlag for stabile samfunn.
The Norwegian authorities believe that the people of China must choose the way forward for their country.
Norske myndigheter mener at Kinas folk må få velge Kinas vei.
We have never questioned the right of the Chinese to determine their own development.
Vi har aldri trukket i tvil kineseres ansvar for å bestemme egen samfunnsutvikling.
I note that the Chinese authorities react if voices in the Norwegian public debate have spoken out in favour of a change of regime in China.
Om noen i den norske samfunnsdebatten har uttalt seg om regimeskifte i Kina, så registrerer jeg at kinesiske myndigheter reagerer på det.
But we have freedom of speech in Norway.
Men vi har ytringsfrihet i Norge.
Once again, different points of view expressed in the public debate should not – in our tradition – be confused with the official views of the Norwegian authorities.
Igjen; ulike meninger i samfunnsdebatten kan i vår tradisjon ikke forveksles med norske myndigheters offisielle holdninger.
The Norwegian Government acknowledges the historic improvement of living standards that China has achieved in recent decades.
Den norske regjeringen anerkjenner den historiske forbedringen av levekår som Kinas befolkning har opplevd de siste tiårene.

Kinas folk og myndigheter fortjener anerkjennelse for fremskritt uten sidestykke.
The country’s development has given hundreds of millions of people a better standard of living and greater freedom.
Utviklingen har gitt hundrevis av millioner bedret levekår og økte friheter.
Again, the choices China makes have implications far beyond its borders.
Igjen, hvordan Kina velger, får betydning langt utover Kina.
China and Norway are now familiar with each other’s views.
Kina og Norge er nå kjent med hverandres syn.
We have listened to China’s reactions and have considered what has been said.
Vi har lyttet til kinesiske reaksjoner og tatt dem til etterretning.
We now have a joint responsibility to move forward in mutual respect and to our mutual benefit.
Vi har et felles ansvar for å komme videre i gjensidig respekt og til felles nytte.
