The appearance and growth of the auction market was the achieved in the 1990s due to China's opening-up and reforming policies. Auction, with its unique format, is an important market sector, and is becoming to be more and more appreciated by Chinese collectors and investors.

Nowadays, the auction of cultural relics has become increasingly imbued with the presence of past history and culture. China, even more so than elsewhere, is undergoing tremendous changes in society economy and culture. That is why every action and every auction on our part attracts so much attention from all walks of life.

Furthermore, Chinese artists and their works have never been so highly recognized and made so important by the world as they are today. In turn, the appreciation and the protection of national cultural inheritance has never been regarded as something so closely connected to the public as today. Also, modern auction practices have never before been so widely connected to newly emerging markets like those of real estate, enterprise ownership and intellectual property.

China Guardian itself is a concrete result of the development of the Chinese auction industry. We have whole-heartedly and enthusiastically devoted ourselves to the development of China's auction business with a view to the preservation of our national cultural inheritance and the enhancement of its value.

We firmly believe that credibility is the lifeline of a business enterprise and make it our policy to serve the public with sincerity and expertise, as well as to deal with every client on the principle of openness and fairness. We welcome the support and cooperation of people both within and without of our line of business to further the development of China's auction industry.
