Ai Weiwei.

What a wonderful world we live in. A sovereign state or nation applies their laws to the letter and the Americans cry foul. What sort of hypocrisy is this? Ai Weiwei admitted that what he did was against the laws of China and he was imprisoned for some time. Why cant the West accept it that way and they keep on trying to impose their type of governance on the Chinese people. The man has been freed together with some of his associates who have all admitted their offenses. The Americans always tout themselves as the bastion of democracy, but what do we see, they detain people in the name of National Security for longer periods and when others do the same thing, they call it a human right abuse. The soldier who allegedly leaked information to wiki leaks is still in detention and his health condition is deteriorating by the day. Is this soldier not allowed to a fair trial. Is he not innocent until proven guilty by a competent court of law. We will like to know why he is still being kept in detention. We should live in a world where every country applies its laws as written down in their constitution and not an imposition from another country. The Chinese authorities i know are not moved by the attempts by some western countries to influence their people so as to protest against the government. This they are doing through their various media houses whose names i will not like to mention. They are known all over the world for propagating the west's agenda and they make sure that every news item is moved in a certain direction to project and protect the interest of the west. I think this behavior on the  part of the west stems from the fact that the Chinese economy is growing at a faster pace than the west anticipated, so they have to do everything to make sure that it is truncated. If the west has got anything to think about, they should learn from the Chinese. For now Ai Weiwei is just refusing to be drawn into any unnecessary talk with the media as the will want him to say somethings against the Chinese Government, but i will say to him that no matter what happens to him, his country should come first and not the selfish interest of the so called bastion of democracy. Every country must be allowed to practice the type of governance as prescribed by its people and not a type imposed by another country.
