China lends Treasures to Taiwan

For the first time in 60 years, China is lending to the National Palace Museum in Taipei 29 prized artifacts dating back to the Qing Dynasty.

This will be the first time since 1949 that Beijing has allowed for its treasures to be lent to Taiwan. Although this is the most recent sign of improving relations between the two, Taiwan has not sent any of its treasures to China because it is afraid that China will impound them.
