Shanghai hosted 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.
