Mr. Yang says that Taiwan's market for mainland artifacts has been booming for the last few years, and they are usually shipped to Taiwan by the container-load, passing through Hong Kong on the way. "Sometimes when the container truck gets here, the wooden crates inside haven't been touched," says Yang, "which is to say that customs haven't inspected them at all."
楊先生表示，近年大陸文物在台生意鼎盛，大多整個貨櫃出口到香港轉進台灣，「有時一個貨車送過來，木箱根本沒開封，也就是說海關根本沒驗過」，他說。
