http://www.euronews.net/ Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei says he wants to use his battle with the tax authorities to expose the Communist regime.
Aided by wellwishers' donations from far and wide, he has paid a bond of almost a million euros to begin an appeal against a huge tax demand.
"More or less, (I feel) like I was a hostage half year ago. Now I pay the ransom, and I feel I was robbed. But, you know, officially," he said as he made his way to the local tax bureau to begin the appeal procedure.
