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.
Call me a lib but does that actually happen?!
Interesting write up about this https://www.gq.com/story/the-great-chinese-art-heist
incredibly fucking based if true
this fucking quote
also their bits about chinese billionaires buying art for 69 million or whatever is very clearly money laundering
Also “the ones that left”
Oh boy those art pieces are heading out! Off they go! Just, disappearing off into the distance as the active agent in the sentence!
The art just did that
