How absurd to "kidnap" cultural relics with human rights

Those actions fully display the arrogance of Berge and his ilk.

People can't change history, but they can correct mistakes made in the past. They also should learn from history, and establish correct ethics and historical values.

Over the past century, many countries including China have taken back relics plundered in wars.

Those who returned the relics, without doubt, have done the right thing no matter whether they do it for moral redemption, or because of their new views toward history and reality.

China is willing to bring its relics scattered overseas back home through international cooperation, by lawful and diplomatic means, and in accordance with related international laws and principles.

China, which is on the way to a great historic renaissance, will firmly walk on its own path, and make contributions to the development of world civilization.
