Influential Chinese Artist Ai Weiwei has been missing for more than 24 hours after he was detained by police at Beijing airport. Ai Weiwei is an outspoken critic of the ruling Chinese Communist party, and is known for designing the Olympic Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing. He is one of the dozens of pro-democracy activists to be rounded up since calls for a middle-east style “Jasmine” uprising began circulating on Chinese websites in February.
