China's first-ever Spanish bullfight at Yangpu Stadium as part of 'Amazing
Spain 2004,' promoting Spanish culture in the country. The bulls came from
Mexico after Shanghai quarantine authorities said Spain was on the list of
Mad Cow disease countries and no imports of bulls from there would be
allowed to enter the mainland. [Reuters]
