Beijing Applies for World Heritage Status for Monuments

Beijing Applies for World Heritage Status for Monuments

An unnamed official at the Culture and Heritage Commission of Dongcheng District said Thursday that the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and Monument to the People's Heroes had been recommended as candidate heritage sites in a renewed plan to apply for World Heritage Site status for the historic complexes along the city's north-south axis.

Beijing began the official application process last year, but the previous plan only covered buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties along the 7.8 km-long axis that links Yongdingmen Pass in the south to the Bell Tower in the north.

I don't understand why the Chinese authorities feel that a site that commemorates Chairman Mao deserves a UNESCO heritage site. It's like applying Stalin's statue as a UNESCO heritage site.

Well, there are a lot more things Koreans don't understand, since they're only allowed to do what the US approved.

Thanks to Chairman Mao, PRC was founded. Thanks to the PRC, all of Asia will be liberated from USA dominant within 10-15 years.

World Heritage Site - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(i) "represents a masterpiece of human creative genius" - Fail
(ii) "exhibits an important interchange of human values, over a span of time, or within a cultural area of the world, on developments in architecture or technology, monumental arts, town-planning, or landscape design" - Fail
(iii) "bears a unique or exceptional testimony to a cultural tradition or to a civilization which is living or which has disappeared" - Fail
(iv) "is an outstanding example of a type of building, architectural, or technological ensemble or landscape which illustrates a significant stage in human history" - Fail
(v) "is an outstanding example of a traditional human settlement, land-use, or sea-use which is representative of a culture, or human interaction with the environment especially when it has become vulnerable under the impact of irreversible change" - Fail
(vi) "is directly or tangibly associated with events or living traditions, with ideas, or with beliefs, with artistic and literary works of outstanding universal significance" - Fail

Oh, Chairman Mao Memorial Hall's Mao's grave, then it has no cultural value worthy of preservation what so ever. Lenin's grave would be far more historically worthy but Russians aren't applying for that since they know better.

The UNESCO world heritage site was not created for a obvious political propaganda like this, and this petition will be rejected without a question.

The next world heritage site applications if this one goes through.

Lenin's Tomb

Stalin's Tomb

Kim Il Sung's Tomb

Kim Jong Il's Tomb

Che Guevara's Tomb(Unlike the other 5, this one could actually make it due to Che's popularity in the West)

And Korean made up 90% of those "non-mainlanders".

I don't blame Koreans seeing it as a "fail", since Mao doubled the number of Koreas. It's not like Koreas' says are "anything" to the world. As half of it is being ruled by China, and the other half by the US.

World Heritage site to a dictator that killed millions?
