Sounds like the Chinese version of the U.S. Old Woman find. Government takes possession of it because they can and then it is all over for the finders. Offer them a tiny reward for a major find, let them decline and then give them nothing but grief. In other words, make up the laws as you go without the citizens input.
History has a way of repeating itself. I wonder what kind of reward the Smithsonian will offer for the first American Lunar find when they take possession of it, perhaps $100.00, a cup of coffee and a sausage?
