Ah the French, bless them. Anyone wanna go steal a part of the Eiffel Tower and maybe take a painting or two from La Louvre and auction it in China?

Virginian does actually have a good point. These relics most likely would have been destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.

The point often brought up in the West is that if left to the host nation (China) most of these “priceless relics of your national dignity” would have been destroyed by the very people who claim to cherish them as did many valuable works of cultural significance that the Chinese destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
Sometimes its better that a piece of a nations history ends up in a foreign museum then in the hands of natives who dont appreciate it until its gone.

@ stolen art claimers
What about Monna Lisa? She was panted in Italy (by Leonardo da Vinci)but, later, she became “french citizens” and now lives at the Louvre Museum in Paris!
That’s another unjustified situation in the art world, and there are thousands more, unfortunately.

When you say the brutality behind the looting are you refering to the torture and murder of the diplomatic envoy? I think you’re right, people should see the brutality behind the looting.

It is very funny that suddenly Chinese people remind their past… If the Chinese government did not use nationalism to hide the countries’ problems, no chinese people would care about those relics…

If I remember correctly, it happened during the emperor time, and chinese communist criticized that period of time, just to say after that it is important in their history…

Kai, Rick is right. Though the next highest bidder didn’t bid 18 million and was definately led up to a higher price by Cai, the next highest bidder obviously thought the heads were worth close to the 18 million final bid; unless however, Mr. Cai had an accomplice who was bidding the other side.

I apologize to everyone. I am a complete asshole. I have a very very small penis and a really foul mouth. I also have bipolar disorder and like to have sex with cats, cause theyre the only pussy I can get.
