Artist Ai Weiwei accepts tax defeat
Dissident Chinese artist Ai Weiwei is returning money to his supporters after exhausting all legal options in fighting a massive tax bill that his backers saw as punishment for his activism.
After the government levied a €1.86m tax bill on Ai’s design firm last year, tens of thousands of his supporters sent him money, some in the form of cash folded into airplanes flown over his gate.
