Prominent Artist Assails China on Quake Management
This article tells about Mr. Ai Weiwei, one of the artist that helped design the birds nest building in China. He has been blogging about last Mays earthquake and government response and handling of the situation since. He has criticized the government, posted transcripts of conversations with government officials, and even made some of his own records/documentations of those killed.
The interesting thing about this article is that at the point of release China had not censored Mr. Ai Weiwei's blog. In class we've learned that the government usually does censor in cases like this.
