China has said the awarding of this year's Nobel Peace Prize to jailed Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo is a "political farce".

China's foreign ministry said the move by the prize committee in Oslo "does not represent the wish of the majority of the people in the world".

There were standing ovations at the ceremony in Norway for Mr Liu, who was represented only by an empty chair.

The committee's chairman called for the immediate release of the dissident.

Thorbjorn Jagland praised China for lifting millions of people out of poverty, calling it an "extraordinary achievement".

But he warned China that its new status as a leading world power meant Beijing "must regard criticism as positive".
