Hmmm... with all of those foreign currency reserves that China has accumulated, you'd think they'd be able to spare a couple of million to bid for these objects and return them to China.

I guess the Octegenarian leadership doesn't really care that much about any history that existed before their rise to power.

Afterall, who's to say that such artwork would have survived the communist revolution since it represented a decadent and imperial past that they wanted the Chinese people to forget about.

And besides, you're telling me that with actual Chinese troops stationed in HK that they couldn't have stopped such a sale?
