    I saw in the article that antique collector Lâm Dũ Xềnh was mentioned, and then I realized his surname Lâm is a typical Chinese surname, so he might be Han Chinese. Then I looked it up and found a video on YouTube where someone visits his collection https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk6cQZ53P0c. The video introduction confirms that he really is of Chinese descent.

      I was in The Ho Chi Minh City History Museum this weekend and they have some very cool shipwreck exhibits, worth checking out.
