Danger and opportunity

Hosting a successful World Expo in 2010 is always going to be a tall order. It becomes even more formidable after the splendid Beijing Olympics last August. Now, the world economic crisis has made this "economic and technological Olympics" even more arduous.
To call it an arduous and exciting task reflects the Chinese perception of a crisis, which brings both danger and opportunity.
A triumphant expo would bring much-needed hope and confidence to China and the world to combat sweeping economic woes, which are spreading like wildfires from the developed world into developing countries.
