Chinese authorities say a 1,000-year-old Buddha statue containing a monk's remains was stolen from China. The statue had long been worshipped by locals in a village in southeast China's Fujian Province. The statue has recently resurfaced at an exhibition in Hungary. The Dutch private collector, who now possesses the statue, says he is willing to give it back to China if it is proved to be stolen.
