The Shanghai World Expo,a major business event,will soon begin.The expo runs from May 1,2010 till October 31.It's theme is "better city,better life."China carried out a 45 billion dollar makeover to enhance Shanghai's reputation as a trade and transport hub.Hundreds of factories and thousands of families were moved to make way for the expo,including a shipyard with 10,000 workers.
The 162 countries participating spent varying amounts on their pavilions.Saudi Arabia spent 162 million dollars,followed by Japan at 140 million,France,at about 70 million,and the U.S. at 60 million-privately raised.Some 70 million visitors are expected.One Chinese man,Xu Wei,said it was not a trade fair,but an excellent chance to impress the Chinese people.They have to come here.It's a must.
