[quote=SUMMERSNOW,360844]Cai Mingchao, a Chinese antique collector, successfully bid for two looted bronze animal heads auctioned in Paris but he said last week that he wouldn't pay for them. Why? These two bronze sculptures belong to China and the French should return them back. He has won much support from Chinese people. A survey made by Sina portal says that about 70 percent netizens support Cai not to pay for the money. And many French people also think that they should be returned to China. Of course, some people think Cai was wrong. He made the bid and finally won so that he should pay for them. Well, I'd like to listen you guys' opinions. Should he pay for those two bronze animal heads? Note: These two bronze animal heads were looted when the Old Summer Palace (Yuanmingyuan) was burned down by Anglo-French allied forces during the Second Opium War in 1860. So far, 5 of 12 animal heads have been returned while five others are still unknown. This is Cai Mingchao. [/quote]
