Ai Weiwei Quote

The only reason they put me in jail is my involvement in politics, my criticism of the authorities. Later the excuse for my detention became my tax problem. But internally they never told me anything about it. I don't want to underestimate their intelligence, but up to this day I think what they did is very stupid. In fact, they even helped me in an ironic sense. They gave me a chance to explain what is happening with this system. They provided such a platform for me.
