However, I think that as a symbol of the era of aggression, any high-priced auction of the Beast Head in the Yuanmingyuan is a second humiliation of the Chinese. If they are willing to return and acknowledge that barbaric history of aggression, they can develop good relations with them and benefit each other, but if they are to be used as tools for profiteering, let this pile of broken copper and rotten iron rot in the attic of their own warehouse.
