Hundreds of years of colonial plunder have allowed cultural relics from all over the world to wash up on the shores of the United Kingdom. The recent theft scandal at the British Museum, one of the UK's largest and most influential cultural institutions, has aroused heated international public debate. This has caused this world-famous museum to once again face condemnation from the countries where these cultural relics originated, requesting the return of their own artifacts. According to a report by British daily The Guardian, the theft of cultural treasures is nothing new for the British Museum. Many thefts have taken place since the 1970s. And, over the following decades, the rate of theft of artifacts from the museum became more frequent. Statistics show there are some 23,000 cultural relics from China currently housed in the British Museum.
