Artist Ai Weiwei speaks out about the situation in China. He discusses how the Chinese government dealt with the beginning of the corona crisis and how it silenced citizen journalists reporting from epicentre Wuhan. Western governments and multinational companies do not stand up for human rights in China, because they let their business interests prevail. But ultimately freedom of speech and reliable information from China are essential for the entire world. What role will remain for independent thinkers, journalists, activists and artists in China? In Hong Kong, young activists are fighting for truth and freedom of speech. They need and deserve our support.

Ai has personally experienced censorship. He was a prisoner of the regime for 81 days in 2011 and has lived in exile in Europe since 2015.
