An imperial jade seal, owned by Emperor Qian Long, who ruled China in the 18th century during the Qing Dynasty, sold for 40 million yuan ($5.8 million) at London-based auctioneer Sotheby Thurday. This aroused a flood of responses among Chinese netizens.

SACH said it would devote more manpower and money to chasing down the overseas Chinese cultural relics and bringing them home.
