An English construction worker has found a valuable Chinese artefact initially thought to be a “teapot” while clearing out family belongings from a garage during lockdowns to fight the spread of Covid-19. The 51-year-old from Derbyshire in the UK said he was about to send the item to a charity shop before discovering it was an 18th century imperial wine ewer. It is now expected to fetch as much as a half million pounds when it goes on sale at auction on September 24, 2020.

    Aaron Fang and Taiwan was formed in past China and took over the dynasty that doesn’t count as a country,more as a kingdom. And taiwan adopter the western political system which then fell into war with the ccp (communist supporters in Taiwan) during ww2 and because the of the current situation of the world USA didn’t joined the war before “Pearl Harbor attack” and when that started Taiwan is too late to be supplied and support by western powers. Leading to the communists party winning and the democratic China”taiwan” fled to the small island cutting connection to China and doesn’t count as part of China. Taiwan was a country because it has the requirements to be. A system A political group A united military force A working economy And so on. The Qing Ming etc dynasties were judged by whose the most powerful of the time. So no taiwan was the first name. And China was the second. So in theory Taiwan can be used to say past China. But China cannot.

I also have an interest in, and respect for, Chinese culture. On the other hand, while a million people are currently illegally imprisoned in China simply for being ethnically different, I don't think the Chinese have any moral high ground.
