The Confucius Peace Prize (simplified Chinese: 孔子和平奖; traditional Chinese: 孔子和平獎; pinyin: Kǒngzǐ Hépíngjiǎng) was a Chinese alternative to the Nobel Peace Prize established in 2010 by the Association of Chinese Indigenous Arts[2] in the People's Republic of China (PRC). The prize was created in response to a proposal by businessman Liu Zhiqin that criticized the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, which was awarded to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. The chairman of the committee said that the award existed to "promote world peace from an Eastern perspective", and Confucian peace specifically.[1] The original cash prize given to the winner in 2010 was ¥100,000 RMB (US$15,000).[3]
Despite an attempt by China's Ministry of Culture to ban the prize[4][5][6] in September 2011, the original organizers re-established in Hong Kong as the "China International Peace Research Center", awarding the prize to Vladimir Putin in November 2011,[7][8][9] to Kofi Annan and Yuan Longping in 2012,[10] to Fidel Castro in 2014,[11] to Robert Mugabe in 2015,[12] and Hun Sen in 2017. The Chinese government has denied having any connections with the prize.[13] The Prize Committee has been disbanded since 2018.

The founding committee had tenuous ties to the Chinese Ministry of Culture, but a split in the committee prompted the ministry to try to ban the prize in 2011. A rival group tried to award an alternative honour — the Confucius World Peace Prize — but that effort was called off. Mr Qiao said he registered his prize's committee in Hong Kong, under the name China International Peace Research Center, and in Beijing, under the name Beijing Heweigui Culture Media Co, to keep the award going after the ministry tried to quash it in 2011.
