SYDNEY (AP) — Chinese dissident artist Ai Weiwei said Monday that it doesn’t matter whether or not China has a change in leadership, the culture and the system will always remain the same.
Ai’s comments came a day after China’s rubber-stamp lawmakers passed a historic constitutional amendment abolishing a presidential two-term limit that will enable Xi Jinping to rule indefinitely.
“China has always been, you know, emperor state… So a change leader or not change leader, the system and as a culture always stays the same,” Ai told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Sydney, where he was launching an exhibition to highlight the international refugee crisis.
