Chinanews, Beijing, Dec. 24 – In recent years, Chinese customs offices have tracked down a number of antiques smuggling cases. The cases show that antique smuggling has displayed some new trends these days – while most antiques were taken abroad intermittently by individual smugglers, today many of these treasures are smuggled out in large numbers; the composition of antiques smugglers has become more complicated; and the antiques taken out of China are mostly sold in South Korea, Japan, the United States and Britain.
Several days ago, Ningbo Customs Office seized some 20 antiques hidden among a batch of wooden furniture that was about to be exported to the United States. These antiques were made at the end of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and the beginning of the Republic of China (1912-1949) period, and came under the category of the items banned from being taken abroad. Ningbo Customs has uncovered a total of eight antique smuggling cases since the beginning of this year[1] [2] [3] 下一页
