What a pathetic pro-china shill telling false stories. Shame on you.

This video is beautifully made, thank you!

Great video. Well explained

Brits robbed none. They either bought them from corrupted bureaucracy or collected them for the debt that Qing gov owes the Brits. Its absurd that how Chinese are brainwashed so hard to blame everything on foreigners when they talk very little about their own corrupted and failed governments.

Did someon said , "Chip and Dale" 😂😂😂

The burning of the Yuanmingyuan Palace in 1860 and the subsequent looting of countless treasures from the Forbidden City, which were then displayed in the British Museum for profit, represent a dark chapter in Anglo-Chinese relations. This act of barbarity and theft cannot be excused, and the British Museum's continued refusal to return these stolen artifacts is a testament to the enduring legacy of colonialism and its devastating impact on the cultural heritage of nations. The Yuanmingyuan Palace, a masterpiece of Chinese architecture and a symbol of national pride, was systematically destroyed by British and French forces during the Second Opium War. The looting of the Forbidden City, the imperial palace of China, followed shortly after. Countless priceless artifacts, including sculptures, paintings, porcelain, and jade, were stolen and transported to Britain, where they were displayed in the British Museum and other institutions. The British Museum's justification for holding these stolen artifacts is that they are part of a global collection that enriches the understanding of human history. However, this argument ignores the context of their acquisition and the profound cultural significance these artifacts hold for the Chinese people. The artifacts were not acquired through legitimate means but through acts of violence and plunder. They represent a tangible reminder of the suffering inflicted upon China during the colonial era. The British Museum's refusal to return these artifacts perpetuates the colonial narrative and reinforces the notion that China's cultural heritage is inferior and can be appropriated by the West. It is a blatant disregard for the cultural rights of the Chinese people and a denial of their rightful ownership of their heritage. The time has come for the British Museum to acknowledge the injustice of its past and to return these stolen artifacts to their rightful owners. This act of restitution would not only be a symbolic gesture of reconciliation but also a necessary step towards acknowledging the enduring impact of colonialism and its lasting legacy of cultural dispossession. The return of these artifacts would be a powerful symbol of respect for China's cultural heritage and a recognition of the need to address the injustices of the past. It would be a step towards building a more equitable and just world, one that respects the cultural rights of all nations.

when the Qing Dynasty don't gave a damn about their own people. the Chinese helped the western forces in the looting too. Please also read up on how many antiques were destroyed during Mao culture revolution, under the destruction of four olds campaign.

This makes it clear that China has a right to enter Britain at some point.

The Blue Willow Porcelain British-produced plate is a good example of "Good Artist Copy, Grate Artist Steal".

Thank you

Everyone steals fro others, Britain stole from the ting dynasty, the ting stole it from the dynasty that was there b4 them/the common people.

Enlightening. Thanks. Love from Bangladesh

Really glad that I bumped into this video! Such an informative video with clear and logical historical timeline and explanation.

thanks for this, I was hoping for the stories of each of the 8 immortals

Queen Victoria was thrilled when presented with the looted Pekinese Dogs.

the time when Chinese products are the ones being copied😂😂

Mao is one of the prior Antichrists. Xi jinping is one of the two major Antichrists

对人类而言 ，武力就是真理。

These works should be in China...

So like them to mix up the Asians 🙄

There are so many cities that have gotten rid of their walls. Thessaloniki comes to mind.....would have loved to be able to the walls of Beijing in their entirety

...that same lord elgin that stole the marbles??? Noooo What a suprise......not

You can understand China's animosity to the west these days ....2 opium wars and the "century of humiliation" explain a lot. Im actually disgusted any time i read about this time of european/ chinese interaction. It really goes to show how colonial powers had so little disregard for people and culture snd were just in it for the riches..

These prices were looted and highly possible are genuine. What a shame to loot the historical art of another country

"The British Museum‚ The only museum that has nothing British"

ok lets talk about how you pronounce PORCELAIN a minute?

Stoic

AFRICAN INDIAN CHINESE RHREE POWERFUL NATION WORLD BEST I LOVE YOU ALL🙏🙏🙏

Amen

China belongs to Britain and France, and now U.S.

Most was sold in Peking, so it stayed in China The communists stole the rest What made it our, was saved from the communists cultural revolution, most would have been smashed

Callback to that time the Qing empire demolished their own center of knowledge

Who is this person speaking here? They are definitely not British as they mispronounce so many words. It’s so cringeworthy! 😂

The Chinese people will not forget the shame of being bullied by the west powers in the last 150-200 years. That is why Chris wants to be strong again and enable stand on it own feet. China is at the moment certainly the strangest competitor to the west.

The British took six Pekingese and I have one of their ancestors well actually throughout my life I’ve had 10 of them pure Pekingese Dogs direct descendants of those six that were rescued by the British from the summer Palace

Has the CCP demanded the return of the looted treasures?

Question I honestly don't know the answer to. Did the CCP destroy artifacts when they took over me during The Cultural Revolution?

Very interesting

"War trophy" equals "let's force the Chinese to become opium adicts, and when they try to stop us, we'll destroy thier cultural landmarks and steal thier priceless treasures and artifacts." - There's a lot of conflict between China & the West lasting even until today which has it's roots anchored in the two opium wars. We in the West try as hard as we can never to think about it, but in China they don't just nonchalantly forget these things. In some ways getting our kids sddicted to TikTok and disrespectfully stealing all our private data through these apps can be percieved as thier revenge. But revenge is always wrong, and one hopes, that someday, the Chinese will abandon ruthless Communism and China and the West can approach each other in the spirit of mutual respect and cooperation. If there had been more cooperation and trust between the West and China all along, the global COVID-19 pandemic which killed millions of people may well mot have happened and we could've contained it as we did with Ebola, Zika, SARS, etc.

So many lands annex by Russian empire. Now CCP and Russia are good friends. Memories can be forgotten. No worries.

The french got to the palace first

6:49 Chinese emperor lookin like a chad but with some suspect hands😂

China needs to develop far more their military to prevent this kind of thing again. The USA wants to invade China within 10 years. Be prepared.

OMG! This is absolutely unacceptable.

it wasn't taken back to europe it was taken back to ENGLAND

Sorry to say, the robotic narration spoilt this vlog. Nobody I know says one word after another without normal flowing continuation…

Evil colonial kst actions.... Nothing to be proud of something to be ashamed of.... War trophies? Shameful... war criminals..

What a pity we British ever left our shores. It seems everytime I Watch something these days its vilifying the British.

"This act has been described as the greatest act of cultural vandalism in modern history." One would suggest the Cultural Revolution itself is "the greatest act of cultural vandalism in modern history" 🙄
