Human Right, Lootings... It's all Hypocrisy

The French Christie recently auctioned off two of China's Qing Dynasty animal heads for 14million euro each. China demanded it back as these are national treasures, for the French had looted them from the Summer Palace 150 years ago.

Mr Pierre Berge was convinced of his legal right to the bronzes. He defended the interests of museums worldwide which hold "many other looted pieces". He even justified his greed with "human rights" noble values, telling the French media that he is "ready to give these Chinese heads to China if they are ready to recognize human rights".

While I may not agree with everything China is doing in Tibet, I think the French Christie group is full of greed and hypocrisy. What human rights is there to talk about? What the French and Europeans did to China back in the Opium War was far worse than what China is doing today. The European looted, ransacked, burnt, dissecrate, sold opium, kill the Chinese people all for the sake of selfish money and power. These two animals heads were the result of looting against humanity. So what "human rights" is there to talk about?

Give the looting back to China. Give China some time to stablise the human rights issues. The Europeans took thousands of years to achieve its current standard. China is only just recovering from feudalism and communism.
