8:56Now PlayingPolitical censorship in the West today is "exactly the same" as it was in China under its ruthless communist leader Mao Zedong, exiled artist Ai Weiwei has told Sky News.
The 66-year-old dissident told Sky News' Sunday Morning with Trevor Phillips that "society becomes so timid, to really avoid any kind of questioning or argument.
"Today I see so many people by giving their basic opinions, they get fired, they get censored. This has become very common."
