"This is not what a major country should do," Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said of Donald Trump's decision to withdraw the U.S. from UNESCO.

UNESCO's World Heritage Committee recently concluded its session in Paris. Twenty-six new sites were added to the prestigious World Heritage List. The additions highlight community conservation efforts.

Port Royal is Jamaica's second World Heritage Site, with the first being the Blue and John Crow Mountains, a rugged and forested area in the country's east, which served as a refuge and hideout for people fleeing slavery. That site was listed by UNESCO in 2015.

U.S. President Ronald Reagan's administration announces that the U.S. is withdrawing from UNESCO, effective December 1984, saying it had become "politicized," financially mismanaged, unduly focused on weapons disarmament during the Cold War and hostile to free markets and a free press.

The State Department cites political concerns, but UNESCO vows to keep its global doors open to all travelers.

BEIJING, July 23. /TASS/. Chinese officials believe that the US exit from UNESCO is unacceptable, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun said. "The United States is pulling out of UNESCO for the third time and also has significant unpaid membership fees - this is not the behavior of a responsible great power," he emphasized at a briefing.
