WANG DONGMING/CHINA NEWS SERVICE And, the 7.8-kilometer Central Axis of Beijing, which is likely to be nominated by China for the same list within the next decade, is also a reflection of Chinese core values, ranging from urban design, ritual system and pursuit of the harmony between people and their environment, Lyu Zhou, director of Tsinghua University National Heritage Center, said at a side event on conservation and sustainable development of historic urban landscapes held at the ongoing 44th Session of the World Heritage Committee in Fuzhou, capital of Fujian province. In China, there are about 70 local rules for the conservation of cultural heritage sites, and the central government has allocated over 600 million yuan for the protection of World Heritage sites since 2012. According to Song Xinchao, deputy director of the National Cultural Heritage Administration, a joint bid for ancient maritime Silk Road sites, combining China and some other countries, is still being planned despite the difficulties. During a side event on the ancient maritime Silk Road at the 44th Session of the World Heritage Committee, experts from Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and India contributed their ideas on the joint protection and research of heritage sites in the network of ancient trade routes through livestreaming.
