I don't understand this video

[@linjiewang782]

Ai weiwei actually is quite naive in his political view. But I still love him as a humanitarian artists.

[@benjaminjiin8432]

He said his father was harmed by politics, so maybe he is personally aware of cause and effect of politics.

[@user-yu7rp6ot3h]

Stand for democracy and freedom of expression is not naive.

[@basileusmegas7667]

the artist should make art and not to try be a politician...

[@benjaminjiin8432]

I see your point of view as foolish.
