Definitely the best conspiracy theory going right now. I hope we live to see China open the "come and take it" museum displaying all the art they've reclaimed.
I'd like that museum to have a whole exhibit on the patriots who rescued their stolen cultural artifacts and some details about the thefts, too. And also a Mission Impossible style franchise about them.
Most of the plunder was taken back to Europe and either tucked away in private collections or presented as gifts to royal families. Queen Victoria of Britain was given a pet Pekingese dog, the first of its kind ever seen in Europe. Unabashed by its provenance, she named it Looty.
By the early 2000s, however, China was growing rich and confident, and decidedly less Communist. The fate of the country's plundered art was seized upon as a focus of national concern and pride.
I guess it's just not communist to be concerned about your countries history
I think that wealthy Chinese people are already on that
