I don't think so. Liu is always criticized for his moderate attitude against current regime. After Tian'anmen Massacre, the reformers were split, some hardliners were exiled to the United States or Europe nations, some moderates were left and Liu is one of them. He had a hope for the politic reform inside CCP and had the very precious ability to see small changes towards bright direction. Personally, that earns a lot admiration from me.
