I would not expect a creditable 新聞評論員 who are knowledgeable about China would write an article like this. Therefore, I asked for the source of the article and I was right. It is just a personal opinion someone posted on a public forum.

Why did I say this article judgemental with biases? There are more examples I can give but I just list two for demonstration.

First, the author expects China must demonstrate its technology advances in Expo like that Japan and US do; otherwise, China is looking backward and 在歷史廢墟中打轉. It is true that Expo has been a place for countries to display its technologies and national power and it was especially true 100 years ago when it was more a private party for powerful and advanced western countries.

Expo today contains a much broader contents than what it used to be. It is more a party for countries around the world to showcase themselves and let people to know more about them as a county and technologies is only one part of it along with arts, history, and culture.

Expo is like a party and attended guests decides what they want other people to know about them. Some can choose to show off its wealth and strength and some might choose to let people appreciate their beauty and talents.  

Second, the author said the Chinese Center focuses on displaying Chinese history and arts and it indicates that 中國太在乎歷史的光輝，總在故紙堆裏翻找所謂的先進文化. I would like to ask the author whether he has knowledge about what “soft power” is and why the Chinese government recognizes it as an important piece to its strategy to establish its international influence.

I would take articles like this for entertainment reading only.

SO call "soft power" is the weakest part of China, in fact.
