    I really hope he okay, it is a real problem when you don’t have freedom of speech. It leads to the lack of creativity imagination and the suffering of people. Imagine issues surrounding racism in America and the government would kill people in secret for speaking up. It takes a whole country to make a change, right now, the people of China aren’t educated enough on this topic. It’s hard to know what to believe when government manipulating facts.

      In the U.S. people are free to burn down buildings if theyre mad about something. a lot more free then china.

      I hope he isn't. Someone who drops priceless artifacts that we can never get back should be jailed.

    As soon as the chick started telling us what to think about Ai WeiWei, I hit the stop button.

    The only reason you censored that was because the china photo. Your just as submissive to the Chinese government as any other big business. Still a better piece then 60 minutes tho.

      It's because youtube guidelines. I'm sure they didn't want to either but they need to be able to have ads on their videos so they can keep bringing you content like this, it's the sad reality
