No US Presence at the Shanghai Expo? What Gives?



I've mentioned this issue, here is a run-down on what is going on. Not a pretty picture when our Chinese hosts are offering to help support our presence at the Shanghai exposition. I'm not an employee of the State Department, so there is no harm in my asking folks to contact their representatives to find out why the United States has failed to deliver an effective pavilion for the Shanghai Expo. Of course, there is politics involved, but other countries are able to get this done. We should, too.

    Ken,
    Can you send the link to this issue? When you click, it just enlarges the picture. I wanted to read more before sending a note to our representatives.

    Thanks,
    Chris
