Chinese navy dives for golden junk
CHINA has sent its navy to protect marine archeologists on an expedition that salvaged more than 10,000 pieces of antique porcelain from a sunken junk in a campaign against looters and art smugglers.
It is believed to be the first time that China has deployed its armed forces to stop the plunder of its undersea cultural heritage along the ancient shipping routes, which are known in Chinese as the “silk road of the seas”.
Officials on Hainan Island, in the South China Sea, disclosed that naval vessels and units of the People’s Armed Police had accompanied diving teams on the 55-day mission, which ended last week.
“This ship had been plundered many times since it was first discovered in 1996 by fishermen,” said an official of the Hainan cultural heritage bureau.
“They were stealing everything and the ship was being damaged, so we’ve extracted the remaining relics and plan to raise the vessel later this year.”
Navy gunboats and paramilitary guards escorted boats to and from the diving site in Chinese waters, as the archeologists ferried their finds back to Hainan, he said.
The operation came almost four months after collectors had spent about £2m and sent values soaring at a Sotheby’s auction in Amsterdam of 18th-century Chinese export porcelain which had been recovered legally from another wreck off Vietnam.
The government has decided to raise the stakes in its battle against art smugglers because the rise in China’s own wealth has propelled the price of Chinese antiques to record levels on the world market, dominated by auctioneers in London and Hong Kong.
“Foreign smugglers and antique raiders are using sophisticated salvage equipment to steal China’s undersea treasures,” complained Shan Jixiang, head of the State Administration for Cultural Heritage.
“These criminals are becoming more and more organised, intelligent and ready to use terrorist methods. We want more international help in the protection and recovery of the Chinese cultural heritage.”
Shan said China wanted foreign countries to sign up to agreements to send back illicit items but only four Chinese navy dives for golden junk
