China to lend treasures to Taiwan; POLS 495

China plans on lending 29 precious artifacts to Taiwan for an exhibition, and this will the first such exchange in nearly 60 years. This goes to show that relations between the two countries are getting better, but it will still take time. Taiwan has been a sensitive issue for China for decades now, but this might show a step towards reconciliation. However, Taiwan will not send artifacts to China for fear that the government will impound them.
