Your front-row seat to history's great showcase

ABeijing English-language magazine recently speculated about a possible post-Olympics exodus of expats. As Erik Nilsson's interesting article opposite reveals, this prediction is wrong. Most expats are staying, and after the coming Games, I forecast a rising tide of newcomers.

The 18-day Olympic expo will reveal the real China. Many people will come to believe what many of us expats already know.

Wow.
