Looted, Displayed, Denied: How Japanese Institutions Keep Chinese Artefacts as War Trophies
Chinese campaigners and scholars say Japanese shrines, museums and the Imperial Household still display artefacts taken during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, sometimes framing them as wartime trophies.

She advocates a full‑chain, provable system — embedding immutable watermarks at generation, platform verification during distribution, and legal accountability — while continuing an internal arms race between generative and detection teams.
