Wow! I bet at times like that you wish you had some of Trump's or Buffet's wealth.

You cannot take those pieces out of China. So even if you DO have the money, unless you feel like some hard time, don't even think about it. They will also take the thing back and you'd be stuck out the money.

You can own it, just not take it out of China.

To take those kinds of things outside of China is a crime (really, not figuratively) in China.

Of course the govt often sponsors some 'tours' of art where they approve things for loan or whatever...

They can be appreciated just fine by visiting a museum. Its cheaper too.

When you get beyond the outlying stuff things start to get REALLY interesting.

I can try to get you a start if you want...
