Ai Weiwei produces his art for political reasons.
If he was a Ghanian or Inuit artist, he would have been ignored by the wider world.<p>Since his art attacks China, and that suits us just fine, he receives adulation.<p>This is similar to the praise given to every third rate anti-Soviet artist of Russian origin, during the Cold War.
