Many Non-Han People Visited the Noth-West Region!

China: Ancient Silk Road Museum of Underground Tombs Complex – Opens in Xinjiang! (16.7.2024)

A large cache of pottery and bone ware and coins unearthed from the tombs are also on display in the museum.

“The museum makes full use of the original appearance of the tombs, as well as digital exhibition, VR technology and touch screens to offer the audience an immersive experience of the ancient Qiuci,” said Feng Wei, deputy curator of the museum.

According to the Xinjiang regional institute of cultural relics and archaeology, four excavation rounds were carried out from 2007 to 2023 at the site in Kuqa, which led to the discovery of more than 2,000 relic sites. In addition to the tombs, there are wells, cooking stoves and other relics dating from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC) up to the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368-1911).

Marching Smartly!

Qing Dynasty: When the Last Chinese Imperial Ship Visited the West! (11.3.2024)

Afterwards, the U.S. Navy repeatedly invited the Qing Dynasty Fleet to visit the United States as a show of friendship. Therefore, on April 11th, 1911, Cheng Biguang (程璧光), the Commander of the “Hai Qi Hao” was ordered to weigh anchor in Shanghai on April 21st – and set sail to the United Kingdom, (thousands of miles away), to attend the Coronation of King George V – and then cross the Atlantic to visit New York, USA. The Baiyang Navy – at the end of the Qing Dynasty – was extremely modernized. The uniforms, Ceremonial Guards, and drill methods of the soldiers were all adopted from the West (specifically the UK). The Officers and soldiers of the “Hai Qi Hao” also cut off their Manchu braided poney-tails – officially integrating with the (modern) Western Navy.

Qi Ying Hao - Qing Dynasty Ship - 1848

China: Qing Dynasty Ship – “Qi Ying Hao” [耆英号] – First Modern Chinese Vessel to Visit the West – and Never to Return! (11.3.2024)

The purpose of the “Qi Ying Hao” voyage is not very clear – based upon the extant information available. Certain information suggests that the driving force behind the scenes was a British business group. These investment capitalists intended to have a Chinese sailing ship sail around the Cape of Good Hope – and then sail to the United Kingdom – as a symbolic gift for Queen Victoria!

According to researchers, the “Qi Ying Hao” was secretly sold to the British in August of 1846, because at that time China had legal restrictions that prohibited the sale of ships to foreigners. In order to keep it secret, all the British people changed into Chinese clothes and a Chinese person was temporarily appointed as the Captain. He also used the ship as his personal yacht – and sailed the boat from Guangzhou to Hong Kong.

Puyi Loved the USSR!

When the Last Emperor of China Applied to Join the Communist Party! (14.2.2024)

On August 19th, 1945, Puyi was in a Waiting Room attempting to escape on a flight to Japan from the Shenyang Dongta Airport (situated in Manchuria – Northeast China). Together with Japanese Officials and a number of Imperial Japan’s Kwantung Army Generals – Puyi was captured by members of the Soviet Red Army Parachute Regiment (with NKVD Elements) – a Special Force despatched for this very important military operation! Many Soviet POWs had been captured by the Nazi Germans and sent to Manchuria – where they were illegally experimented upon by Unit 731 of the Imperial Japanese Army. Such Soviet prisoners were boiled alive, frozen to death, vivisected, castrated, and used in experiments testing various illnesses, gases, and munitions of all kinds. These Soviet men and women suffered alongside millions of Chinese people and other Asians – including a smaller number of Westerners. Despite the evil perpetuated by the machinations of Japanese fascism – the soldiers of the Soviet Red Army treated Puyi (and his Imperial Japanese allies) very well. Indeed, an NKVD Operative politely enquired of Puyi (in the Mancherian language), ‘Your Majesty – are you the Emperor of China?’

China: British Museum – “No Idea” How Much Loot It Possesses – Or Where It Might Be! (28.8.2023)

The Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies collected in the British Museum is the closest copy of the prestigious Chinese painting by Gu Kaizhi. It is one of the most famous collections of the museum. It was plundered from the court of the Qing Dynasty during the Siege of Beijing by the Eight-Nation Alliance in 1900.

There are very few tri-colored Luohan statues of the Liao Dynasty in the world and those collected in the British Museum were stolen overseas from the Yixian County, Hebei Province.

The British Museum has refused to return the cultural relics over the years mainly on the grounds and basis of the British Museum Act, which was amended by the British Parliament in 1963 and basically prohibits the museum from returning any of its collections.

The British leading human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson QC said “The trustees of the British Museum have become the world’s largest receivers of stolen property, and the great majority of their loot is not even on public display.”
