Artist Ai Weiwei Publicly Calls for Western Support of Human Rights in China

“Now all the nations of the developed world are trying to do business with China. Of course, it’s an arrangement in which both sides profit. But on the Chinese side it means more unfairness to labourers and damage to the environment. This kind of business is done through the sacrifice of basic values and human dignity. … China looks efficient only because it can sacrifice most people’s rights.”
