I was browsing the internet last night and realized that there are not a lot of news on the Shanghai World Expo that are in English. I mean, there are a lot of them; because the Expo after all is an international event. The official website of the 2010 Shanghai World Expo has a news center in fact.
But the nitty gritty news like what’s happening in the pavilions, etc.–you got to read the local dailies in China to know about them (or watch a lot of CCTV news). Even at least CCTV 9 (because that’s the one in English).
Probably Josh from FarWestChina says it best–
If you don’t live in China and haven’t kept up with daily news here, there’s a slight chance you haven’t heard much about the 2010 Shanghai Expo. If you do live in China and have no clue about the Expo, then…that’s a pretty big rock you’re living under.
What I’m going to do here (aside from writing about my China rants and what-nots) is to post and highlight interesting Expo news from the Chinese dailies and/or blogs (in English because we’re an English-language China blog after all) so that at least we’re a little bit more informed. And it’s going to force me to practice my Chinese too.
Excuse me while I browse and snoop around. In the meantime, why not subscribe to our RSS feed (or subscribe through e-mail) and/or follow us on Twitter to keep updated on our ramblings here in CNR?
