Chinese help Ai Weiwei after huge tax bill
Uploaded by AlJazeeraEnglish on Nov 8, 2011
The Chinese government has imposed on a dissident artist a massive tax bill for alleged tax evasion, which many argue is politically motivated.
Thousands of Ai Weiwei's supporters have mobilised to help him cover the 15m yuan ($2.4m) bill and avoid a jail term, a development the government did not expect.
They contributed over $5.3m yuan ($830,000) in just 48 hours later.
Al Jazeera's Melissa Chan reports from Beijing.

AlJazeera (Melissa Chan ) thanks for your news about Ai Wei Wei.
i was so worried about him.
wondering what might have happened with Ai Wei Wei.
the government (CCP) with No Moral and No Aesthetic can do anything with anybody.
this tax story is a drama played by CCP to torture Ai Wei Wei.
don't worry Ai Wei Wei , the world is with you.

CCP ( chinese communist party ) had to make some-stories to torture Ai Wei Wei , because he is speaking the truth ( the truth about oppressive government ).
who ever speaks against CCP is a criminal in CCP's eyes.
this Tax story is a drama played by CCP.
do you think Hu Jintao's son-inlaw pays the tax ????

Ai Wei wei is now the world's most famous artist. He could easily just focus on living a life of luxury but this brave,daring and outspoken artist risks his life and freedom to challenge the Government, He has true integrity and every artist should support him. He demonstrates the power art has to bring about positive change. All the world is watching China over this. It's not only ALJazeera but all the world media is reporting.

The money raised could be used for starving children or those in low income, The Peoples Republic of China. I understand that freedom of speech is important but to feed the hungry should be a higher priority. The number of people in China live on less than $2/day which is approximately 468 million, or 36% of the population, according to 2009 estimates. Shouldn't society reexamine there motives or raising 5 mill dollars? Shouldn't Government reconsider the fine and offer forgiveness of debt?

@guidedbythespirit I curious to how people can address these issues without the assistance of freedom of speech, think about it. A government can hide information of poverty and/or disguise it just to ignore the problem, plus free flow of information can improve these types of situations. As I communicate with you, you bring up a point with this poverty problem. Solutions originate from the free flow of information and unrestricted communication with each other, and there is a lot of problems.

@xbertocoaylax True, abuse of power should not go unnoticed, but currently the Chinese Government is doing just that. The current standards the government imposed are regulatory and considered treason and is unlawful in the Chinese Governments eyes, Right? Weiwei committed a crime according to the statutory law therefore he should pay the fine. The 36% of the Chinese population has not committed a crime yet they go hungry... Why?

Basically BBC BS needs a new wrapper, right?
Try to get a list of all the items sold by this "artist" and count the amount. Five million RMB is pocket change. So, don't pretend that the amount is significant in any measure. The National endowment has much much more!
The irony here is that the "brutal police state" seems to play by the book and does what it says. Now that's something we can't expect from most of the "democracies".

I hope the government officials won't see this as a business.
Some official is probably thinking something like; $2,4m for each artist, just think about how much you can earn with 10 artists

I mean seriously, Look at Chan's reports. I am literally talking about every single of her report is to say China is evil, it's bad, it needs to be destroyed. Seriously?? You think people are fucking stupid or something? Journalists ain't all that smart. Just saying. You think highly of yourself because you have a voice to project your bias view on certain ideas. But don't think the viewers aren't smart enough to see through your bull shit.

Every single report about China on AUazeeraEnglish has been completely negative. Don't you think people would start to wonder about the credibility of AUazeera after watching 30 something videos about China and every single video talks about just how bad China is. It's like everyone lives there suffer like North Koreans. Are you serious?? When you make things too obvious, it no longer has its effects. Just saying. When you make ur news to become propaganda. people will see through it.

West Media love hiring the Asian bitch to do their news, then fuck her in bed. self hate white men loving lol. I bet she loves to suck that white cock.
However, I support Ai Wei Wei in some of his philosophy. But i have been watching Chan's reports, every single report on China has been all entirely negative. Every single one of them has been about how EVIL China is, It's like a country of Hell. You think people might not be aware the level of propaganda in this kind of reports??
