Chinese dissident and artist Ai Weiwei has observed how political correctness in the U.S. has become similar to Mao Zedong’s Cultural Revolution in China.
The contemporary artist, who grew up in northwest China and was detained for more than 80 days in 2011, is known as one of the country’s most vocal political commentators. Weiwei, who left China in 2015 and traveled throughout the U.K. before settling in Portugal this year, recently shared his observations on the U.S.’ current conditions.
“Certainly, the United States, with today’s condition, you can easily have an authoritarian,” Weiwei told PBS’ “Firing Line” host Margaret Hoover, as reported by Faithwire. “In many ways, you are already in the authoritarian state. You just don’t know it.”
