World Heritage Protection: UNESCO executive on mission

The extended 44th session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee kicks off virtually from July 16 to 31 in Fuzhou, the capital city of eastern China's Fujian Province. The committee is responsible for carrying out the World Heritage Convention, and eventually has the final say on whether a place ends up in the World Heritage List. This year, the committee will review China's Quanzhou project. At present, China has 55 world heritage sites, tied for first place with Italy. So, exactly what makes a world heritage site? And how are we working together to protect these historic places? For answers, Tian Wei spoke to Shahbaz Khan, the director of the UNESCO's Regional Science Bureau for Asia and the Pacific.
