If suddenly a new metro line will be opened in the otherwise pretty much commercial-free only English-language TV station CCTV International suddenly countless tourism commercials and incredible fireworks flowers open in the night sky in front of our eyes, that can only be a sign of another major event in China be.
For the past week is the Expo, the world exhibition in Shanghai on running. For years, the population was trimmed for this major event and the effort to the outside world from the best side is to present to the order of the 2008 Olympics nothing. On behalf of the party hoped that through the Expo negative memories of China to suppress the recent past in the minds of the people. That worked out already in 2008 AD to the Olympics and the brink held unrest in Tibet this year and is using the Expo again fold smoothly. For no sooner are the aftermath of the Xinjiang unrest a year ago or the censorship dispute vs. Google. China in remission, it follows, wieder das nächste Propagandagroßereignis um die Weltbevölkerung China gegenüber harmonisch zu stimmen.
Generell erhält man den Eindruck, dass in China immer irgendetwas in Form von Großveranstaltungen „los sein muss“. 2008 die olympischen Spiele, 2009 die National Games und das 60 Jahr Jubiläum der Volksrepublik, 2010 die Expo und die Asian Games, 2011 die Summer Universiade und die Schwimmweltmeisterschaften, 2012 die Asian Beach Games und die National Peasants Games, 2014 die Olympischen Jugendsommerspiele: die Bevölkerung wird immer auf Trab gehalten, immer mittels unzähliger an Großereignisse gestützte Wohlfühlkampagnen ruhig gehalten – already the Roman Empire quickly learned the "bread and circuses" estimate methodology. And if nunmal when no major event takes place you train the people for years just point to the next event, almost to generate even more excitement. While in Vienna for almost 2 weeks before the EURO 2008, grave mood was said in China in 2008 AD have any of the Expo: "If total super," "As I go down!", "Let there be no one to be missed! ', very much were the responses from various Chinese. What is the motto of the Expo, or what a world exhibition general at all, is probably the least people know. It is towards containing, because it takes place in China. Or did someone in 2005 for the Expo in the relatively near Japanese Seto even vaguely interested? No.
The theme of the Expo itself - Better City Better Life, which stands for green and sustainable energy concepts - appears, then as brought about by the hair pulled, much more like the whole event a huge Disneyland, with the daily parades and pageants individual Pavilions focus on the particularities of the country take place. Each visitor also receives a "passport-Expo", which allows you to collect at each pavilion a country "entry stamp. "I already have 20" announced the young student almost euphoric the interview team from the TV news. What is really the focus here? Sustainable energy concepts and the world together with their community as a colorful theme park? The ratio of the numerous Chinese visitors across all ages and social classes can thus actually explain. Even today, the mass of the chines. Population not afford holidays abroad, most do not even have an international passport. In this regard, the Expo is an ideal opportunity to get a glimpse of the world outside of China to catch.
And while the TV news in its proud hour Updated announce attendance at the Expo, which is considered one of this event in just under half a year remaining after the closing ceremony is: surprisingly little. Because next to a pale tinge of propaganda and all other Pavilions outstanding China Pavilion, which posterity will remain low: the rest of the Expo grounds, after six months of use will be completely torn down, as it this is first-class Shanghai Building sites. So much for sustainability.
