A world class artist is no match for the Chinese government.
" The US and EU have spoken out over the detention of artist and activist Ai Weiwei, in China. Police detained the 53-year-old at Beijing Airpport, on Sunday morning, as he was going through immigration. No one has been able to contact Ai Weiwei since.
It has also been reported that 8 of his studio workers were arrested at the artist’s studio in the north-west Beijing. They were questioned for several hours and then released. "
Monumental Dissident Outrage
Thank the Lawd that artists in America are not being snatched of the street, yet.
