WWII sites need protection

College students in Ningbo, East China's Zhejiang province, surveyed 28 historical sites from the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1937-45) around the city and found most of them are in poor condition and may disappear soon.

China should protect such sites and apply for them to be included on the list of world heritage.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization included Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland as part of the world's cultural heritage in 1979. Not only has the site been well protected since then, but also its horrific purpose is known to more people around the world.
