Although China ranks first in the world in terms of 55 World Heritage Sites (Italy will add another one later today, tied with China), the distribution of World Heritage Sites is still centered on Europe. Looking at the number of the top five countries, there are 187 core countries in Western Europe, including Italy, France and West Germany. The total area of the four countries is about 1.8 million square kilometers, which is equivalent to the sum of the areas of East China, South China and South China. However, there are only a dozen world heritage sites in this region of China. Nowadays, the system of restricting the number of declarations annually is very unfair to China, a great potential heritage country.

Over the next year, China and Italy shared 55 World Heritage Sites, ranking first in the world.
