Good manners vital to nation's pride

From numerous exhibitions to the FIFA Women's World Cup next week, Beijing Olympics next year and Shanghai World Expo in 2010, China is hosting more international events than ever before.

Many fascinating structures, such as the "bird's nest" Beijing National Stadium and the egg-shaped National Grand Theater, have been built. Space age pavilions will emerge along Shanghai's Huangpu River bank ahead of the expo.

There is little doubt that these world-class structures will impress people from all over the world.
