Chase Robinson, director of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Asian Art, says the decision to transfer the manuscripts to China demonstrates the museum's firm commitment to jointly preserving humanity's cultural heritage and its long-standing tradition of collaboration with Chinese cultural institutions.
The administration decided to return the manuscripts to Hunan after thorough consideration and extensive discussions, Rao says.
