They went to extreme measures to protect their own without notifying the rest of the world. A simple telephone call would have had a tremendous impact and if I'm not mistaken they do make cellphones. Let's get back to the statues for a moment. Do you think any statues in China are at risk? I would venture to guess not so much. Why? Because they've already destroyed everything related to their predecessors. Now they have their own version of communist Utopia. Sounds a lot like what's happening today in America. Wipe out our history and they can rebuild it in their own image. The scary thing is the image their trying to create.

Actually you are very wrong about China and their history.
Was fortunate to spend some time touring there last year and saw a lot of history.
From the Forbidden city to Terracotta warriors they do know and study their history.
They are still a communist dictatorship and keep a lot of control of their country.
