Mongolian authorities convict Chinese nationals for damaging Han dynasty inscription

Mongolian authorities convicted two Chinese nationals for making unauthorized impressions of a 2,000-year-old Han dynasty cliff inscription in Inner Mongolia.

The conviction sparked a wave of concern among Chinese internet users and experts regarding the safety of historic sites. These individuals tampered with the landmark since it was first rediscovered nearly a decade ago. The specific incident leading to the convictions occurred in November of last year.
