Chinese food is launching its second attempt to join UNESCO's cultural heritage list.


The China Cuisine Association (CCA) has formed a team of 30 to travel across the country in search of the most promising candidates puma basket heart patent femme , according to the Paper.


So far, eight cuisines have gained the most votes, including Peking duck, traditional New Year's dinner puma basket heart femme pas cher , dumplings, moon cakes, tofu, Lanzhou hand-pulled noodles puma basket heart pas cher , hotpot and zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings).


China has a rich food culture with a history stretching over thousands of years. Many of its dishes, such as Peking duck, hotpot and Sichuan beef are popular both in and out of the country. But none of them has made it to the UNESCO list.


In 2011, Chinese food was rejected in its first attempt at the list puma suede creepers femme pas cher , as the application failed to present the food's cultural impact to the judges.


The CCA's deputy director Bian Jiang told the Paper that this time they'll try to shift the emphasis from the food to intangible things, such as cooking skills, cuisine styles, methods of eating puma suede creepers pas cher , the stories behind the food and the culture it promotes.


In 2013, South Korea's Kimjang, namely the making and sharing of kimchi, made it to the list mostly for its impact on people and society puma suede heart femme pas cher , such as enhanced relations in the community when people share kimchi, the solidarity and joy it brings, and the different ways of making kimchi and methods of eating.


Du Li, a culinary expert based in Sichuan puma suede heart pas cher , says it could be hard for China to select one single dish to represent the whole country's food culture. She says the candidate must be universally acceptable but unique to China.


Feng Enyuan, executive vice president of the CCA, says another big challenge is explaining the food to the world.


"The Chinese way of cooking is so complicated that even the Chinese can't understand it all," she said www.suedeheart.fr , stressing the importance of using a universal language to strike a chord among a global audience.


Later this year the CCA will hold a Chinese Food Night abroad to create publicity. Also, UNESCO experts will be invited to symposiums in China to offer guidance on a successful application.




BEIJING， Feb. 19 (Xinhua) -- The proposed deployment of a U.S. missile defense system in the Republic of Korea is a threat to regional security and stability， and Lotte Group is one decision away from becoming an accessory to the act.


In the ROK government-proposed deal， a golf course， currently owned by Lotte， would be used for the deployment of the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system， according to ROK media reports.


The Lotte Group board of directors has yet to make its final decision on the land swap deal: Rightly so， they are playing with fire that could inflame regional relations.


Washington and Seoul argue that THAAD is purely a defense system; a protective measure for potential threats from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).


China objects for two reasons.


Firstly， reacting to an arms threat with a threat of arms is not going to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula， in fact it will only undermine the regional strategic balance.


Secondly， the THAAD installment poses a severe threat to China's security interests， and could be used to monitor Chinese territory.
