It is the largest and most structurally complex tomb from the ancient Chu State, dating back over 2,200 years. Lacquered woodware featuring black and red paint comprises a significant portion of the unearthed relics so far. The tomb has a water-filled interior, buried deep and sealed with green paste mud, which created a low-oxygen environment that preserved the lacquerware well.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi reacted to this speech and said that no matter how the political situation on the Taiwan island changes, it will not change the historical and legal facts that there is only one China in the world and Taiwan is part of China. In this edition of The Hub, Wang Guan talks to Yang Xiyu, senior research fellow from the China Institute of International Studies, and to Josef Mahoney, professor of Politics and International Relations at East China Normal University, to discuss the new dynamics in cross-Strait relations as Lai attempts to challenge the one-China principle. Yang gives a detailed historical account of the cross-Strait relations, with the one-China principle underpinning peace across the Taiwan Straits. Mahoney tells Wang Guan that Washington has been dangerously playing the Taiwan card and draws a comparison with the current situation in Ukraine.
