The way looted Chinese cultural relics come back home
Listen now
Description
It’s time to find the way back home. A group of German museums are trying to unravel where their Chinese collections originated, as many may have been looted from China’s Imperial Palace over a century ago. Will it pave the way for the repatriation of thousands of looted objects? What obstacles must be overcome before we can see the stolen treasures permanently back on their home soil? Host Tu Yun joins Dr. Huo Zhengxin, a Professor of Law at China University of Political Science and Law, David Moser, an Associate Professor at Beijing Capital Normal University, and Mike Bastin, a China observer and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Southampton for a close look at the issue on this episode of Chat Lounge.
