Dear Giovanni,
    All the European tribute given to the Qing Emperors was left behind in Beijing, when the republic of China evacuated its art treasures in the 1930s. They considered that stuff as foreign stuff not worth shlepping. It is still in Beijing at the Forbidden city museum.
Best Wishes,
Joey
