STOLEN RELICS SPUR STRONG FEELINGS

Ownership, legality questions swirl around treasures looted from Old Summer Palace

More than 150 years after French and British troops sacked Beijing's Old Summer Palace in 1860, relics that may have been taken from the site are showing up at foreign auction houses, prompting an outcry from China.

Many other items thought to have been taken from the palace, which is also known as Yuanmingyuan, are housed in museums and private collections around the world.
