Cooperative research agreement delves into production process of Terracotta Warriors

China and the UK renewed a pact to research the production process of the famous Terracotta Warriors in Xi'an, Shaanxi province.

The cooperation started in 2006 and discovered that the warriors were produced by workers in separate groups in separate factories and then assembled together, shedding new light on the public's perception of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, known for his love of unity and centralization.
