Oh, and stop following me around, attacking EVERYTHING I say.
Your relentless quest to discredit me, makes you look like an idiot, because you don’t even read what I post, and you answer is so irrelivent a feel terrible for your service provider.
Fuck countries. My goal is a better WORLD. I will improve Canada, China, Tibet, ect ect.
Please back up you accusations.
I will continue to use fucking vulgarities, regardless of your feelings. Sensthitive boy, aren’t you? hahaha.
This person jackrowet1234 canadian goes around shouting abuses, insults, stereotypes
why do you use vulgarities for what? Our country is terrible? Is that really ur business? Why don’t u do something constructive to your own country instead?
I reckon it’s an obvious sack of caque. They’re quite obviously China’s wares or property. if they were looted give them back from the standpoint of the civilised world at hand.
Why we need a stuck-up voice over and the show of “An Art Expert” (Do people take that kind of terminology seriously still???) is rather like a 5 year ancient trying to justify why he stole the biscuits.
Its odd but in these instances one would imagine a larger international intellectuality. Give back stolen goods!
Its not “The French” who are selling these things, sure the guy may BE French, but he doesn’t represent the people. He does but have very strong feelings on Tibet, and he uses his PERSONAL, not NATIONAL power to influence things. He doesn’t like CCP, but I’m sure hes fine with regular Chinese people. If you reckon CCP= culture, your fucked, bronze heads= culture, your fucked,Chinese history=culture, your fucked. YOU, the Chinese PERSON, RIGHT NOW, represent China. NOTHING ELSE.
What we ruin our self can justifies your stealing? How? What we do with our own goods and propety is our own problem, might it be excellent or terrible, thank you!
So…The British and French agree it is okay to steal one item and re-sell it back to its owner? o.O damn i feel sad for ppl in British and French that there now have more hideous history.
this is fuckin unbelievable,I hardly to imagine what’s in french’s head, i mean those chinese things r the loots that french looted from the french invastion to china handred years ago, and now france want to build excellent relationship with china but at the meantime they publicly place those goods in auction, and said such a ridiculous statement at the end of the video … if france really want to break the friendship up with china, then say it clearly, and do not do things hypocritically!
Christie’s should be held fully accountable for this GROSS violation of the cultural rights of an entire nation. Regardless of whether we are referring to China or another country, treasures that were plundered from their native lands should be returned to their place of origin. Past wrongs should be corrected. Christie’s irresponsible and provocative actions unmasked its right identity – that of a THIEVE that aids in the plunder of other nations’ cultural patrimony.
Some bronze heads woop dee doo. A thirty foot devout icon was completely decimated and buried by the Chinese, and they want some heads that have been in some french homosexuals garden for the last couple of year? Ok, that’ll cost yout Tibet.
Well if they’re not in tact, why do you call them “treasure”?
㐁丞丟两
法國佬，1860年和英國佬去中國劫掠，你們的祖先是強盜，土匪，人在做，天在看，看你們現在的衰落，何時滅亡。
lol what does this has to do with the lamas?
“I’ll only return the stole goods if you would change your inhabitant policy because I’m a smelly Frenchman.” What an asshole.
Cool.
And the Nationalists would have to give the power back to the Qing Dynasty and Qing to Ming and Ming to Yuan etc etc. The right thing to do is to return the artifact to China or donate to museum instead of PROFITTING from it. The right thing for US to do is to try to help them prosper. The right thing for the communist government to do is to maintain status quo with Taiwan.
Let’s say this Chinese makes China look terrible. What about selling “stolen goods”? Does that make the France look terrible? What about looting? Do you reckon that made France look terrible?
How is counterfeiting the same as looting?
Why should China PAY for something stolen from China?
Really agree with you. In some case, they are even worse than CNN because of their narrow minded religion.
“France stole a couple head …..
China stole a entire country”
*sigh* another dumb white guy who thinks he understands china’s history….
they are intact? if they are still intact then where is the rest of the body? idiot…
WTF!? that guy is saying he will return the goods if china allows dalai lama back?? what a stupid and unrealistic request. someone wants to kick some sense into him
