The year 2021 marks the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of the PRC. The CPC and the State attach vital importance to cultural heritage conservation and specialized plans adopted at various levels also take cultural heritage into consideration. In the last year of its term of service as member of the World Heritage Committee，China successfully hosted the 44th Session of the World Heritage Committee，which harvested fruitful results. The Fuzhou Declaration announced during the session embodies China’s important contribution to the World Heritage Convention. A series of momentous topics were also discussed during the session，including the COVID-19 pandemic，climate change，and sustainable development. “Quanzhou：Emporium of the World in Song-Yuan China” was inscribed on the World Heritage List at the session，becoming the 56th World Heritage property in China. Moreover，the Tentative List of China also secured steady progress. The reports on the state of conservation submitted by the State Party of China gained recognition from the World Heritage Committee. “Liverpool-Maritime Mercantile City” （UK），however，became the third property delisted from the World Heritage List due to inadequate conservation and management，setting off an alarm for other State Parties.
