The last actual incursion was in 1998 when road and river bank modifications on the Chinese side resulted in a change in the flow of the river border, causing a bit of Vietnam's land to wander over to China. There are still potential major points of concern between the neighbors. The Spratley and Parcel Islands in the South China Sea are still claimed by both nations. Now well into the 21 st century, Vietnam decrees that artifacts from China must remain in Vietnam. Therefore, lovers of Asian antiques and fine export reproductions must go to China if they desire to acquire Chinese designed and crafted materials.
China clearly has an abundance of old objects.
With so many antiquities from a 4,000 year history of fine arts, China is able and willing to part with items that are less than 350 years old. Antiques that are greater in age than 350 years are not legally exportable from China. For the objects listed here, VVG acts as the agent of the seller only.
