The Shanghai World Expo, which officially opens tomorrow, May 1st, is yet another multi-billion dollar propaganda spectacle put on by the Chinese government.
Like the Beijing 2008 Olympics, the Shanghai Expo - the largest Word Expo ever - is designed to make China's one-party dictatorship appear open, modern, and democratic. More than 70 million ... See morevisitors mostly Chinese are expected to visit the Expo, which runs until October 31st, 2010.
The Expo is like the World Fair with themed pavilions representing countries, corporations, and a handful of international organizations.
As expected, China has set up a Tibet pavilion - called "Heavenly Tibet" - depicting the Tibetan people as happy and prosperous under Chinese rule.
Heavenly Tibet? or Hell on Earth?
