some news about ai weiwei and his recent disappearance. http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2011/04/06/arts/design/06artist.html
In Chinese culture, Chinese think they are “descendants of the dragon”. In the picture you used, dragon is demonized. This is a very rude insult to Chinese people. We have no respect to the person who has created this picture.
You are not only anti-China, you are anti Chinese people, and you are anti Chinese culture. Please learn how to respect China and Chines people before you seeking any sympathy. The person who created this picture is brain damaged!
First off, props to Cainandtoddbenson for the site and the art!! I live here (In China) and you (David Wang}seem like many of the Chinese whose inability to reason leaves them incapable of handling anything less than brain numbing communist rhetoric. What you might want to do is to set aside the chicom mind fk and try to feel the author, to see what the message is. The funny thing is that many in China can not do this….Also, you say the dragon is sacred, but how about human rights?
LOL, Whoaaa!!! chinese communist internet army alert. 五毛
In my piece the Dragon does represent the Chinese People. It represents the people that can allow the Chinese system to do what it’s doing right now to the individual, Ai Weiwei. It represents those that would hurt an individual who is doing nothing more than expressing himself. China “is” hurting Ai Weiwei. The Dragon represents those afraid of freedom and individual expression. To me the Chinese Dragon represents a mythological symbol. It represents China’s past and not its future. Also, you speak like all Chinese think alike, “We have no respect to the person who has created this picture”, this peace of art is about the individual and freedom to express yourself, which is all i’m doing. I think you’re much to angry, and you underestimate your fellow Chinese citizens, at least let’s hope so. Would this piece of art even be allowed in China? I think not. Actually I can’t find it anywhere on chinese servers. I have tried, and yet it’s quite easy to find using google. I find that fascinating.
Why no words of concern for the artist, individual, Ai Weiwei?
Here is a link to wikipedia regaurding the Chinese Dragon.

Awsome video.
“The news that Chinese artist Ai Weiwei has been detained by authorities has prompted significant concern here at TED HQ. We had shown a film of him at last month’s conference, an unexpected and courageous statement about his treatment by the government, social change, the power of the web, and his hope for the future of China. The film, which was shown as Ai Weiwei himself watched live over the web in the middle of the night, prompted a huge standing ovation from the TED audience.”

Dan Rather Reports, Ai Weiwei Entire Story
The last U.S. television interview with Chinese activist Ai Weiwei 10 days before he was detained by Chinese authorities. Weiwei was arrested at the Beijing airport on Sunday and hasn’t been seen or heard from since. In response to worldwide outcry, the Chinese government warned that Weiwei would “pay a price” for his dissent.

Hi, Cain and Todd Benson. I love your art. Thank you for speaking out for Ai Weiwei. There are many more people, not as famous as him, detained or simply disappeared. We need more human rights in China and we are fighting for it.
The “David Wang” above is likely to be paid by the our government, so called 50-cent, or 五毛 in Chinese. They are morally ill people.
I have included your art into this website I created for supporting Ai weiwei:

As a matter of fact, we love Ai weiwei here in China. 我们爱艾未未。
And we have a facebook page to support him.

As of now, 6611 supporters are gathered.
Cheers. Ji

Hi there! Thank you for that post. Brilliant just brilliant.
I am actually curating a project in London for Ai Weiwei’s capture-awareness and release. It is called The Chinese Whisper Project (Chinesewhisperproject.worpress), and I am looking to do an exhibition using art as a symbol of unique interpretation and freedom of expression. Hopefully I’ll have 25 peices of art to exhibit from 5 unique artists. You’d be so welcome to come! I guess it’s about pulling together and standing for our rights. Especially in an age of social media power. I’ve put a project video plan up on the blog and on youtube too – it would be great if you could find an outlet to let readers know.
Many thanks! Keep up the good work.
