    British museum is just the “accidental” offsite backup plan for a lot of history and cultural artefacts.

    A bunch of Chinese artifacts have been stolen from museums in the west in extremely sophisticated ways. Unfortunately, it’s likely a bunch of billionaires retrieving the artifacts for private collections or currying favors, so we won’t see them

          Wait are you telling me that Xi has assembled a rag tag group of professional thieves (Let’s call them Xi’s eleven) to steal back looted art from western countries taken through imperialism?

          That sounds based as hell.

          Do you think it could be a few rich folk near the cpc funding the heists and in a few years China will go “oh look at all these stolen treasures that were donated anonymously uwu” or is it just a couple of rich Chinese millionaires funding this to puff out their homes?

          Edit: ah so I used puff in the sense to kit out and fill to breaking point their homes in treasure and then worried the word filter would grab it but it didn’t. Admins/mods puff can be used as a slur for queer people in the UK, not sure if you wanna include that in the filter or not.
