The conservation of cultural heritage is based on the formulation of relevant laws and regulations. This paper analyzes two versions of the China Principles and explain through examples that there are conflicts between Chinese and Western understanding of the conservation of heritage sites, especially the understanding of integrity and authenticity. However, this kind of conflict has been merging in practice and gradually formed a conservation criterion suitable for China's national conditions. Secondly, through the analysis of the formulation process of China Principles, the way of cooperation among many countries can help a country quickly establish the criteria for the conservation of heritage sites, however the criteria formulated in this way need to be always in practice in order to formulate the most suitable criteria for the conservation of national conditions.
