The list was revealed Tuesday at a meeting of the global body’s Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage. The Cham pottery traditional was one of 56 customs reviewed by UNESCO before publishing the list. Women historically craft most customary Cham pottery, which includes household and kitchen items – jars, pots, trays and vases – as well as religious objects and art. Instead of using the pottery wheels popular in the west (also known as turntables), Cham women walk around the wet clay as they sculpt it with their hands. They then bake the pottery outdoors with firewood and straw for seven to eight hours without glazing it. It cooks at uniquely low temperatures of about 800 degrees Celsius.

Depositors have been withdrawing their money from banks to protect their assets, which makes it difficult for companies to acquire loans. But PM Chinh said that the current crackdown would change these "short-term" problems. He added that three state task forces were now tackling capital issues in the property and bond markets. Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc, charged with solving the bond market problem, said earlier that bond issuers … [Read more...] about Vietnam needs to ‘protect’ citizens with market ‘rectifications:’ PM
