Am sorry to say but you have a consistent habit of putting down the government every chance you get. Your comment harkens back to the accusations by the west and the roaches in Taiwan that CPC is responsible for the destruction of most Chinese history along with it's historical artifacts, which is why then Taiwanese government when it was still pretending to be the real China, it was using similar rhetoric against the mainland as illegitimate.I read it wrong, so I deleted that paragraph.
I just want to explain the difficulty of returning cultural relics and the seriousness of the loss of cultural relics in the past.
You can see from the news that this judgment was issued by the Chinese court. Unfortunately, the Amsterdam court rejected the appeal in 2018.
This means that how to enforce the law will be the biggest problem.
If foreign governments favor those who buy stolen goods for various reasons, it will be very difficult to return cultural relics.
Today, there is still a lack of care and compassion for cultural relics in society. Some netizens even call archaeologists "official tomb robbers", but I don't understand the logic behind this. Maybe they just hate that they can't get these cultural relics.
But it has to be said that many wrong practices in the past have brought many difficulties to the protection of cultural relics.The government, which is supposed to bear great responsibility, has made a poor "demonstration role" in cultural relics protection.
There's almost nothing that the government has done past, present, and probably future where your passive aggressive attack wouldn't surface.
