I hope Ai Weiwei and his team can stick with it, but the frustration must be unbearable. This post seems far more pessimistic and despondent than we’ve seen in the past.

The only reason i can think of why the chinese government doesn't want to give freedom of expression to the people is that a real china under the rule of a communist party could be appallingly ugly. If everyone has the right and a platform to get their voice heard, there could be a lot more persecution cases disclosed, more food safty scandals revealed and people getting angier and asking more than a single-party rulling system can offer.
