China Sets up Database to Reclaim Lost Cultural Relic Treasures Abroad

China has set up a database in an effort to reclaim lost cultural relic
treasures abroad, said Shan Jixiang, Director of the State
Administration of Cultural Heritage on Thursday.

"The Chinese government is making its utmost to reclaim and collect the
precious cultural relics lost overseas," he told a press conference
organized by the Information Office of the State Council on Thursday.

China is among the countries which lost a large number of cultural
relics over the past two centuries.
