A better choice than Liu for the Nobel Peace Prize would have been Bolivian President Evo Morales or the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, who waged a decades-long campaign to account for the fates of relatives kidnapped during Argentina's military dictatorship, it said.
There is "no difference at all" between Liu, 54, and "the type of 'dissident' that the United States has been designing for decades to use ... as fifth columns in those countries that they disagree with because those countries dissent from (the US) hegemony," the article said.
China is one of the Cuban government's closest allies.
Cubadebate also had choice words for Vargas Llosa, 74, who in his youth sympathized with Fidel Castro but broke with the regime in 1971 when it jailed dissident poet Heberto Padilla.
The Peruvian author "should have received the award many years ago, when ... he was more of a writer than a politician."
But this "leftist apostate" is "one of the most reactionary ideologues of these times," it said.
While Vargas Llosa has never held elected office, he ran for president of Peru in 1990 as the candidate of a coalition of right-wing parties but was defeated by Alberto Fujimori.
