Features: Morally speaking, as the essence of the Chinese nation, Chinese intellectuals have an inescapable responsibility to condemn the actions of Western Central Asian explorers who looted cultural relics in China's northwest. Even if we set aside ideological and political influences, even if we fully acknowledge the academic achievements and social contributions of these explorers, as long as there are differences between nations and countries on Earth, as long as China and the Chinese nation still exist, they will be unable to escape the condemnation of Chinese scholars. The condemnation of Chinese scholars towards them is not merely aimed at their individuals, but more importantly, at the historical stage of colonialism or imperialism they represent and the aggressive forces they embody. The ultimate goal of Chinese scholars' condemnation is to strive for the ownership and protection rights of the Chinese nation over its historical and cultural relics scattered overseas. Only when relevant countries and institutions recognize this right of the Chinese nation can the deep wounds in the hearts of the Chinese people be soothed, and the grievances of the Chinese people be alleviated.
