  4. Takes note of the continued efforts undertaken by China to safeguard the element, especially through the improvement of its transmission mechanisms, the promotion of public knowledge of Meshrep and, in particular, the training of young people by experienced bearers to continue to increase the viability of the element and respond to existing threats and risks;

Invites the State Party to continue developing the regulatory and policy frameworks for inventorying the element and creating favourable conditions for representative bearers to take on apprentices and participate in demonstration and exchange activities, surveying and recording Meshrep, supporting transmission centres in the communities concerned, organizing academic conferences on Meshrep and enrolling postgraduate students in research degrees focusing on this element and its components;
