Ai not reproduced [not]: that the moment of truth

moment that the truth

Ai Weiwei not you in the past few weeks in Tibet and what is happening in the West look at how the repercussions?

as an observer, I think, in the West and China, the two sides showed a certain extent have erroneous information. For the causes of the riots did not depth coverage. Apart from mutual accusations, the two sides did not substantive communication. Unfortunately, we review the history, a very significant feature is the absence of public discussion. We live in a strictly controlled by the ideology of the community, especially the minority issues involved.If a majority Han Chinese ethnic minorities as the liberation of the slaves, the solution of this issue is no hope. The reality is much more complex. They have their own religion, their own culture development path with its own way of thinking. Tibetans are now simply violate the law, depending on the people to curse, I do not think this will solve the problem. This will only increase between the Han and minority hatred, and deepen the differences between them.

how to eliminate differences?

most important thing is to truly respect for minorities, and to recognize their past mistakes committed.The unrest in any case, at least the failure of the ethnic minority policy. We really do not understand their religion and way of life.history, we destroyed their temples and statues, this is a basic fact. Now they began destruction of homes and attacked soldiers and civilians. Ask their hatred supposed to come from? Or do we want a complete neglect of their rights, and that all normal society? In a democratic society, the rights of different groups and characteristics should be respected. These problems should be resolved. If unresolved, the policy is a failure.Must seek dialogue. Simply to split the motherland, to count against them, is not feasible. We have to establish a different ethnic composition, a different language, have different beliefs, lifestyles and ways of thinking of society, which requires respect, tolerance, dialogue and consultations.

Why do you think the Western show is wrong with that?

If people with certain stereotypes, Yixiezhangmu will turn a blind eye to the outside world. Where there is cover, where there will be speculation and inference. In principle, I think, people's misunderstanding and resentment between nations and between different ideologies betweenWest and the East, between the Han Chinese and Tibetans misunderstanding and resentment, to a large extent attributed to the shelter to cover up cover, lack of transparency and access to information channels. This brought about great social cost. Throughout China, which has already begun to change, but certain areas or from the old structure and led by the thinking. I think that the Tibet issue in this regard particularly special. In the absence of facts or cover up the facts artificial, caused people to reflect to analyze the obstacles. This is the most essential things, but sounds a bit naive. People trying to obtain facts and the ways and means of experience, marks a fundamental difference between different societies. In the beginning stage of communism, people struggle to get through to absolute truth. When people fight for the truth, the truth of the need to have ordinary people do not trust. Let the public know the truth is very dangerous. This is an old-fashioned thinking, it has a bearing on how people control the power. I often ask, why can not have a media review and no control of the community? What are we going to cover? What kind of facts so dangerous? Obviously, if the majority of people only get one-sided information, this will be more easily controlled. Information that is power. Who is right or wrong but in the people to make the judgement, it is necessary to understand all the truth. This has always been necessary. We have never had such a right, it is now we have this right now. Otherwise, when people look back at history, the whole world would blame in his possession,have done nothing shameful things, why should we cover?I think on the whole, the mediaand not exaggerated. For if this had not the slightest, no one actually observed what had happened, it is truly devastating.many Chinese people now curse the West. This is a long-term publicity from the results, that is, the West is the enemy, the enemy of fraud China. This is the consequences of prejudice.

many Chinese people are curious why so many Westerners interested in Tibet. On the contrary it can ask why so few Chinese people care about Tibet?

in China customary lack of sympathy for the weak. Weak and the injured, in this society have no place. This is a success and social power. Little sympathy. West is another world, because people naturally stand on the position of the weak.Many Chinese people of the Tibetan simple as travel destinations, tourist destination.those from Shanghai or Beijing naive ignorance of the petty bourgeoisie who are very happy there for some time on the holiday. But they do not understand the local people, and they did not at all in real terms in local exchanges.

China's arts community how to treat this matter?

people are now confused. I often hear people say: What is wrong? Dalai whether to do? People fall into a state of confusion. Buddhists should have been a peace-loving people, but seeing is the holding daggers, and the burning of flags, smashed windows, and filled with anger. However, the possibility for them to voice their ideas?Whether we can invite them to the CCTV talk about how they want to, rather than that they are simple criminals. I have to ask, why not? Who built the walls of misunderstanding?What is the reason? If we have been to them as barbarians, they are likely to be understanding? The result is the only deepened rifts and resentment. If you want to let other people disappear, whether in the flesh or in the spiritual world, this is brutal bloody.
