economy - World Expo 2010 gets go-ahead

The cheers have been limited to Chinese media, but on December 1 the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai got its go-ahead from the organizing committee in Paris. The BIE passed, not fully unexpected, the report of Shanghai's vice mayor Zhou Yupeng on its progress and now real business can be done. Delegates of the Bureau of the Shanghai World Expo Coordination are expected to knock at many doors of other governments, foreign and Chinese companies to solicit their cooperation at what might well be the last World Expo, a tradition that started in 1851 in London.
