the reason that he wont pay is because the artifacts are robbed from China by the french two hundred years ago...

Well, he can enjoy his 15 minutes of fame. The auction is out, what.. 7, 8 thousand Euro? Tops? I think they'll be able to safely recoup that money.
He still doesn't have them. The rest of the world looks on him like some sort of deadbeat and his "heroism" will be eventually forgotten to the Chinese people.

would you pay money to robbers to buy back what belongs to someone else? | Fixed.
Part of why China can't get it back through legal methods.

LMAO did you guys hear the news? The guy who is in charge of the bronze statues says he would return the bronze heads to China if China would allow the Dalai Lama back into Tibet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR5x_cVDOmQ

that doesnt' matter.. Qing dynasty is one dynasty of China so it belongs to China..
If China goes to England in the past and stole robbed something from Beckham palace, can you say because the queen back then is dead so you don't have to return the goods to england?

China was so fucking weak back then they got invaded by a small country called Japan and almost lost the war. That's what happen when you are the sick man of Asia and try to isolate yourself thinking China is the center of the Universe. So stop crying over 2 bronze POS that was "stolen" 200 years ago.
The Chinese did more damages (destroying relics) to themselves in culture revolution than anything you can imagine.

Your grandfather is a crack addict, and his neighbour broke into his house and rob him off his 65 GTO 40 years ago because he couldnt give up a fight.
40 years later, that neighbour is auctioning the GTO off for 120,000 and claim it as legal. You as the grandson should not protest because your grandpa was weak and delusional.
How does that make sense in your world?
For reading reference, I think anything remotely related to logic or moral will do for now.

Better example: if the Ming Dynasty went to the Holy Roman Empire to rob something, should present day China return the items to Germany/Austria?
