Well according to France last month, Tibet belongs to China.

"France fully recognizes the importance and sensitivity of the Tibet issue and reaffirms its adherence to the one-China policy and the position that Tibet is an integral part of the Chinese territory, in accordance with the decision made by General Charles de Gaulle, which has not changed and will remain unchanged. Based on this spirit and the principle of non-interference in each other's internal affairs, France refuses to support any form of "Tibet independence".

and the Chinese people is very grateful at the Americans, who started the recession or what not

As much As I love China, I will have to agree that had they not take the artifacts away 60 years ago, they would have been destroyed during that cultural revolution thing.

Oh I am sorry, I was under the impression that the French did not apologize for what they did, unlike Canada or Australia who did.

I guess I was wrong.

Think about the follow scenario. a white guy goes to Japan and learn how to make sushi..he then returns to canada and starts a Japanese resturant and sells sushi. Can Japan sue him for stealing Japanese culture and profiting at a loss of authentic Japanese chef? No becuase it isn't protected.

So on a simliar regard, who decides what to be protected and what not to be protected?
it's okay for a westerner to sell "Japanese" sushi and damaging the sales of authentic Japanese returants because its not copyright protected, but it is not okay for a Chinese guy to sell "fake LV" and damaging french bag makers...
both acts are of the same nature, but one is protected and another is not. Therefore the situation is more of a civil matter than a moral one.

Why should the french expect Chinese to follow copy right laws, when in fact what they are doing are exactly the same in the eyes of Chinese but cannot be punished?

Counterfeiting will still continue as long as the west still hasn't paid back its debt.
that makes no sense, stop eat sandwiches because the chinese didn't invent those.

debt? why don't you go back to china since it is such a great place and stop crying on the internet.

what's your point?

nobody's crying on the net, I'm only pointing out the irony of it. And mind you I am not even from China.

if this post is too deep for you to understand, feel free to go on to other "NWS" or youtube threads and quit writting trash here.

The more you complain about the unchangable injustices of the past, the less you can think about and act towards the future.

It is for this same reason that Art collections are currently being returned to Jewish families from Nazi seizures during WW2, as well as Russian art and treasures being returned to Russia which were plundered from Imperialist palaces in St Petersburg by advancing Nazis.

Legally then, the artifacts were stolen during War, which by today's standards would be War Crimes.

How it plays out in the courts will be a fight between lawyers.
All this laws and stuffs only applies if there is a higher power. When it is against 2 large countries, law means shit. It will just come down to who has the bigger gun.
heck, look at US invasion of iraq. it was illegal but who's gonna do anything about it.

Get a life, the french have every right to auction it off. If I had enough money I'd buy it and burn the stamp just to spite you.
uhh im just guessing, but i think the stamp they are talking about, is a type of seal used as a signature....not a postage stamp.....

I guess thats why the Chinese people don't feel guilty making counterfeit LVs and crap...since what the french people have done to China is far worse..at least the Chinese didn't invade french and go robbing the LV factory.

fair? a war?
right... get your facts straight buddy.

china wanted nothing to do with any other country, so these 8 nations forced their way in. its common knowledge among chinese people.

LOLLLLLL
What if that debt is in bonds and it matures in 10 years. In your stupid logic basically the bank would be able to take my computer because my parents haven't paid off their 25 year mortgage

Didn't I already have this argument with you? The Chinese counterfeiters are stealing INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY from someone else. They are taking someone else's artistic talent, their design, their advertisement and promotion, their brand. Their hard fucking work and selling it as their own.

Not only are they spitting in the face of everyone involved in that project from the logo designers to the people hired to make commercials but they're also cheapening the product by creating sub-standard copies that some people may believe is the real thing.


I'm not saying taking artifacts during pillaging is any less awful and deplorable, I'm saying that they're different fucking arguments
