The Shanghai 2010 World Expo: Too Much Tourism, Not Enough Internet?
By Andrew Clark - Politics DailyYou wouldn't know it living in the West, but the Shanghai 2010 World Exposition is garnering attention throughout China that isn't far from the excitement level of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Statues of the mascot for the Expo, "Haibo," can be found in most large cities in China, and stuffed versions of the little blue man are available in virtually every store. As the event loomed closer, television and radio ads flooded the Chinese broadcasting markets. The event even has its own jingle, titled "City" after the 2010 Expo's theme: Better City, Better Life. I attended the event this past ...
Which Leaders Rock Our World? Drumroll, Please ...
By David Knowles - AOL News(April 23) -- President Barack Obama is still the world's most respected leader, according to a new six-country poll. Released today by France 24 and Radio France Internationale, the Harris Interactive Poll asked 6,135 adults between the ages of 16 and 64 who live in the United States, Britain, France, Italy, Germany or Spain to name their favorite world leaders.

Obama's Nuclear Moves: Good for America, Bad for Democrats?
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyPresident Obama is setting new priorities and new directions for the country as he tries to curb nuclear proliferation and prevent nuclear terrorism. What could be bad, right? He's following in the tradition of Ronald Reagan. Yet there is the depressing possibility that Obama's efforts to make the world a safer place could feed doubts about whether he and his party are macho enough to protect the country. The promise and the peril were summed up in an exchange on Politics Daily's Facebook page. "I trust our president to work for peace," wrote Erica Kirchner-Dean. Retorted Grant Miller, no fan ...
Obama's Nuclear Summit: Invisible for Conservatives?
By David Corn - Politics DailyOn Monday and Tuesday, President Obama convened a historic gathering in Washington to deal with the most urgent threat facing the globe: nuclear terrorism. Never before have so many world leaders gathered to discuss together how to thwart one of the greatest nightmares imaginable; 47 nations were represented. Though no sweeping treaties or agreements were reached, Obama did succeed on two important fronts. He placed the issue of controlling and securing nuclear material that could be used by terrorists (including al-Qaeda and its allies) at the top of the global to-do list. And he encouraged ...
How China May Hand Obama a Surprise Win
By Joseph Schuman - AOL News(April 7) -- President Barack Obama's tougher line with China in recent months seems to be paying off, with U.S.-Chinese cooperation appearing to improve on both the economic and national-security fronts. A spokesman for Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner today announced that Geithner would travel to Beijing to meet with the Chinese vice premier for economic affairs on Thursday. Though their agenda wasn't made public, the decision to stop in China on the way back from Geithner's planned visit to India was widely read as a sign the two countries are close to settling a long, sometimes harsh ...
Midnight Train to Georgia (Via Beijing)
By David Knowles - Politics DailyIf you were looking for signs of the United States' waning influence on the world stage, you needed only tune in to the opening ceremonies of the Olympic games. Beijing's spectacular coming out party was a mind-boggling feast for the senses. The synchronized precision of the show, which fused the latest (Chinese-made) technological marvels with the daunting manpower of a country whose masses are hurtling into the middle class at world record pace, was as beautiful as it was unnerving. Yes, China is the world's future. And the future is now. Taking in the show were the representatives of two ...
