First, Ai Weiwei mocks his captors while he was detained for a year (watch to the very end, please, it’s worth it):
The New York Times’ Andrew Jacobs has more on the video, including this very surprising piece of information:
The video was shot by the cinematographer Christopher Doyle, an Australian resident of Hong Kong who is best known for his work with Wong Kar-wai, a director of highly stylized films, and Zhang Yimou, who has in recent years been a favorite of the Communist Party. (ital added)
One question: what is Zhang Yimou of all people doing making a film for Ai Weiwei? Has he found his conscience?
And now the second, disturbing, video:
The title states that this was a street brawl in Beijing between Han Chinese restaurant workers and Tibetan street vendors, but Tsering Woeser on twitter has said that one of the groups was not Tibetan, but made up of members of the Qiang ethnic minority.
