According to a report from Taiwan’s China Times Electronic News on July 13, the World Heritage Conference will be held in Turkey on the 10th. Although the discussion The theme is World Heritage, but intangible heritage has attracted more attention because it is easy to cause disputes and conflicts in some areas. In particular, the application of comfort women in many Asian countries and regions is full of opposition.
