Zusammenfassung:	Cultural Property - works of archaeological, historical, and artistic merit - is valued the world over. China, with its many centuries of high civilization and its vast area, is arguably the richest source of cultural property. The People's Republic of China faces a great challenge in protecting this heritage since, despite restrictive laws, countless treasures are smuggled out of the Mainland each year. This is the first book to offer a comprehensive description and discussion of China's cultural property laws, and the first to discuss the legal and international market implications of its attitudes and practice. J. David Murphy argues persuasively that the country's restrictive laws governing the export of antiquities, combined with the current economic climate in the country, serve to foster the illicit trading which has been fed by constant tomb-robbing and museum thefts. This book will provide a valuable addition to the international cultural property dialogue.
