More than $70 million visitors around the world are anticipated to visit the Expo.
Viewers will have the opportunity to learn more about Shanghai and China and the Chinese will learn about the world, the Ambassador said.
Shanghai, China’s largest city, has witnessed China’s transformation from a semi-feudal and semi-colonial country to an independence nation.
Since the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and especially after China adopted the policy of reform and opening to the outside world in 1979. Shanghai has developed into an economic, financial and communication center of Asia.
