BEIJING ? Outspoken Chinese artist Ai Weiwei says Beijing tax authorities have agreed to review their ruling that he pay a multimillion dollar fine for alleged tax evasion.
The internationally acclaimed conceptual artist said Friday that tax officials informed him of the decision Wednesday by telephone and said the review would be completed within two months. Ai said he was hopeful that the case would be handled earnestly and transparently.
Ai was detained for three months last year during an overall crackdown on dissent. Following his release, authorities demanded his design company pay 15 million yuan ($2.4 million) in back taxes and fines, a penalty interpreted by activists as punishment for his criticism of the authoritarian government.
