China solar company shines on World Cup

BEIJING - World Cup 2010 is no longer merely a sporting event. It has become a festival, a carnival for people in nine South African cities and fans worldwide.

Thousands of miles away, we are enjoying the excitement and disappointment even though only one factor actually has a China connection.

Thousands of Chinese fans in the stadiums in South Africa and millions in front of their TVs may have seen a Chinese sponsor on the billboards at every FIFA World Cup stadium.
