UNESCO issued communiqué s on June 3 10 and 3 1 day, and a new batch of 64 cities from 44 countries and regions were selected into the Creative City Network. Changsha, Macau, Qingdao and Wuhan in China were selected for their achievements in the fields of digital art, food culture, film art and design.

Creative City Network is a project initiated by UNESCO in 2004, aiming at promoting and maintaining cultural diversity in a globalized environment by recognizing and exchanging the experiences of member cities in promoting local cultural development. Being included in the global creative city network means acknowledging the work of cities to maintain and develop their own characteristics in internationalization. Member cities need to be recognized by UNESCO when they join, and they are free to quit. UNESCO can also advise them to quit after losing their representativeness.
