Why Ai Weiwei?

It looks like Ai Weiwei is going to be the driving force at ShanzhaiZhongguo this week.

Other than scrounging for details on Ai Weiwei, I've been reading a lot about the budget, or lack there of, in the American Congress; some on Google in China (and its many missteps there); watching Nicolae Ceausesu's last speech in Romania in 1989 before his execution; and contemplating Bob Dylan's recent performance in Beijing (care to comment or compare yourself to Mr. Ai Bob?).

Here the Financial Times discusses Princelings (sons and daughters of former Party bigwigs) and their connections to Ai Weiwei and the general "Jasmine Revolution" crackdown.
