I know I know.. I have used this line a lot. But I must say that "if there is ONE thing I have learned" it must be DON'T PISS OFF THE CHINESE GOVERNMENT! Yesterday Christie's auctioned off two pieces of looted Qing Dynasty relics. They were part of Yves Saint Laurent's estate. Well this is what everyone is talking about. The Chinese government has been trying to acquire them, without paying the $40 million they went for. It's scary, their is talk of Christie's not being allowed to trade in China. So, why would Christies make such a bold move taking part in that auction. Why wouldn't Yves will them back to China, or why would his benefactor not will them back to China, or why would Christie's (when approached by CHINA) not step and refuse to sell. Man, they are sitting ducks now. I can't wait to see how this turns out.
Ok ok, I've been ready too much China Daily with my toast in the morning. Now is a good time to get a hair cut, something about after Chinese new year, and the well being of maternal uncles. I don't understand all this LUCK stuff, but I cant help by play along. So I too went for a hair cut.
I'll bring home some China daily's as well. It's great too have the Chinese perspective on the world economic crisis. I see what it is effecting, but I read that it is not taking a tole here. Is lying by omission really lying? Nope, it's just neglecting the truth.

So the Gentleman that bought the pieces auctioned off is now claiming that he does not want to pay. He is a Chinese national that wanted to win the auction to stall the process so that the Chinese Government could get a change at getting them back. Man, I love reading China Daily - I will miss it.
