Each story takes place once an end, even if it so seems that the one in China now and may not want to believe really. For now, this year has EXPO in Shanghai, closed its doors endgütlig and during the rest of the world celebrates Halloween, the last visitors to try on that late October evening to catch a few quick glances at the futuristic part Pavilions.
The EXPO area have on the romping at the same time on peak days to over a million people is like, almost a concrete desert. The pavilions, which before had some waiting lines of up to 7 hours of waiting time or more formed act suddenly inanimate spirit houses. The flags of the participating countries will be the last time caught up with the hostesses. Employees of the various pavilions away in the final hours with generous discount their country-specific products - the Italienpavilon sells Italian shoes for dirt cheap, the French counterpart to flog their own quality wine equivalent of just under € 2, is in the German pavilion is free beer. Everything must go, a return-export of those already benefiting already from the import tax products would cause enormous costs. Visitors it is right and the exhibitors at the EXPO as well.
As will be closed for good at midnight all the doors, the mood is relaxed - even if not to deny that evening a touch of the pain of parting, the melancholy reminiscent of the air in that mood, which felt it in China after the Prestige project Oympia 2008 received. Somehow they wanted to admit even then not so real that the Olympics is over, even months after the closing ceremony were broadcast still all Olympic events during the umpteenth repetition on Chinese television. What will remain of the EXPO? Apart from the China pavilion (the rest of the terrain is leveled), a series of records. The World's Fair with the most visitors (72 Million), with most participants (even North Korea), the highest investment, etc.
Most Chinese were most likely at least a day on the EXPO grounds: It would have been unfortunate to have not been there . It would have been unfortunate not to get a glimpse into the big wide world. It would have been unfortunate all these otherwise expensive goods imported from different countries are not as cheap as otherwise get only in the duty free shop at an airport. It would have been unfortunate not to inform themselves about alternative forms of energy and sustainability concepts. The latter point has unfortunately deprived of the subjunctive be - it was dependent on the EXPO because she was in China not because China is really forward-looking and green (ergo growth-retarding) goes technologies.
When asked about the meaningfulness of this year's EXPO, the government commissioner of the Austrian pavilions Androsch respond appropriately: "It would have been very damaging, not to participate" . Tellingly they had today's economic influence of China can not even get to the point. Quote addition: As it happens so in China. And so as to decide the success story of chines.EXPO: All are happy. The Westerners haben ihre Produkte und Ideen auf den wichtigen chines. Markt gebracht und zukunftsweisende wirtschaftliche Beziehungen geknüpft. China hat im Gegenzug seine Soft Power im wirtschaftlichen Bereich ausgebaut und so ganz nebenbei auch noch sein Ansehen in der internationalen Staatengemeinschaft verbessert. Die chinesische Bevölkerung war froh in Zeiten der Weltwirtschaftskrise und unbeliebten Nobelpreisträgern abgelenkt zu werden und freut sich bereits auf das nächste Propagandaevent – was für ein Zufall, dass die Asian Games bereits ab 12. November im südchinesischen Guangzhou steigen. So lebten sie alle glücklich dahin. Und wenn sie nicht gestorben sind…
