On 9 June, executives at Ujazdowski Castle, a museum in Warsaw, expressed their “concern and astonishment” after the Chinese ambassador entered the museum and demanded the exhibition by Chinese artist Badiucao to be closed down. On 12 June, Yao Dongye visited the museum a second time to repeat his demand. Chinese-Australian artist Badiucao uses art to explore censorship and human rights abuses in China, including the manipulation of historical memory about the Tiananmen massacre, the forced cultural assimilation of Uyghurs, pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, and China’s position on the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
