Those purchases helped spur patriotic interest in cultural artifacts among wealthy Chinese, who began bidding in auctions in New York City and London as well as Hong Kong. In 2003, mainland tire manufacturer Lu Hanzhen paid $1.5 million for a Qing vase, while Ho bought another Summer Palace bronze, a boar's head, from a U.S. collector for $723,000 - less than a tenth of what he paid to buy the horse head from an unidentified Taiwan seller...
