November 11th, 2018 is the 100th anniversary of the World War I Armistice. Almost everywhere in the world on this day, commemorative events are being held but in China, we only know it is “Singles Day”.
The 6-day China International Import Expo held in Shanghai was “hawking its own purchases”, because Beijing hoped to use this event to create an image of “powerful global buyer” for itself. It claimed that import orders worth 57.8 billion US dollars were created during the Expo. [skit 578]
