Photo Of The Day: China Blocks Salmon Over Nobel Prize

(AP) — In this Nov. 24, 2010 file photo, salmon is slaughtered by workers at a salmon farm in Flakstadvaag, Norway. Norway used to be China's top fresh salmon supplier, sending steadily growing volumes to exclusive restaurants in Beijing and Shanghai. But since the Norwegian Nobel Committee gave the Nobel Peace Prize to imprisoned Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo, Norwegian salmon exporters say their fish is being held up for days, even weeks, by Chinese food safety inspectors, devastating its freshness.
