<<honest question: In taking that artwork out of the mainland, how much of it was spared eventual destruction at the hands of the cultural revolution?>>

I can tell you this much, not even one piece of treasure in Palace Museum has ever been damaged, let alone destroyed during the Cultural Rev. They are top #1 national protection by the State Council, just like nuclear bomb and nuclear technology. If you ever visited Beijing, and ever went to Palace Museum, you should remember to see those national treasures. They are just < 1% of what we Chinese have.
