They are insistent that the country stole it from China and should return it
Read reviews of the museums from Chinese ... "I saw all the Chinese stuff and am really sad"
@kaetaa Explains why actual Chinese antique stuff is highly sought after by them
They're all buying it back at auction houses
If they have the money why not
i thought "ancient Chinese crime family obsessed with priceless artifact/heirloom and will kill to get it back" thing was an action movie trope
@johnfrum#8811 right? I didn't say it as a negative
Ah, was looking at knockoff chink pistols from the warlord period and damn the fuckers go high in price
They arent even safe to fire most times.
@johnfrum#8811 they want their fancy ricebowls back
in turn they flood ebay with fake antiques
Anyone buying antiques on ebay for anything other than aesteic reasons deserve to get scammed
True that
There's nice ones on there, but if you think they're real you deserve to get scammed
saw a nice Chinese ""antique"" pen/quill holder
didn't end up going for it but it doesn't cost a lot either
"jade"
Jade isnt that rare.
Peices of a particular quality or age are rare but the vast majority arent.
Jade isn't that expensive. There's a really cool jade market in Taipei. I wanted jade chopsticks but nobody there had jade chopsticks...
I have a jade artifact from the 1850s
That's actually rare <:italianthink:327934554126155776> due to it being made by the kingdom of that time
and it has their marks on it etc
Constructing new campus
Are you constructing a new one because the old one was destroyed during the earthquakes <:alismirk:230784726615588865>
It was school shooting

@Big Meme#3424 *>doesn't use mouth/nose protection while sanding*
Yeah. Why should she. You ever been to China? Breathing in those fumes and debris from painting and sanding is probably way healthy than just regular breathing the toxic air over there
haha
Deeply inhale that freshly sanded powder
