Might as well apply to just host it forever! Let every city enjoy the World Expo to their heart’s content! World Expo for everyone!
网易山东东营网友:
Wait until 2012 has passed before applying!

Yet another money-wasting project. The moment [the bid] succeeds, Guangzhou will once again become a construction site. Please stop it, the Asian Games is enough.
网易广东深圳福田网友:
Bid — Construction Projects — Embezzlement — Emigration.

Ruin the transportation facilities.
网易上海嘉定网友:
Any expo is fine, as long as it isn’t held at Shanghai. One World Expo is painful enough~~
网易广东广州越秀网友:
Spare us, please move the provincial capital out of Guangzhou, I only need a small rural Guangzhou, not an international metropolis Guangzhou.
网易上海网友:
Poor Guangdong people, the Shandong people send their condolences.

Weak, holding the World Expo can improve Guangdong’s urban planning, transportation systems, and raise Guangdong’s world economic position. The drawback is that housing prices will go up. Then, Guangdong can replace Shanghai as the destination for outsiders looking to make a living. Best would be the West [part of China] holding it so then people will flow there. It would develop the West.

One money-burning resident-hassling Asian Games is already enough for the people [in Guangzhou], and they want to bid for the World Expo??!! Some government officials are probably crazy about making money…
网易火星网友:
Shanghai is already SB! Why would Guangzhou also want to become SB?
网易上海网友:
If we bid for too many [events], it becomes meaningless. When everyone becomes used to them, then no one will pay attention to them. Besides, the World Expo is not like the Asian Games which is two weeks of time, it is half a year, and it requires one’s own cultural heritage as support, so without strength and lung power, Guangdong can’t do it!

You pigs who pat their butts and make decisions, such a big matter and you don’t consider what the ordinary common people living in the city think?! Doing this is great for you guys, having government cars to ride in and police cars to clear the road so you’re not afraid of traffic, profits to be made, women to do…[I am] truly speechless.
网易广东东莞网友:
Have they considered just what kind of place Guangdong is before doing the World Expo? Most people on the streets not having any morals or cultivation, especially the locals of Humen, viciously cursing outsiders/foreigners. The entire place is garbage, and they dare say they want to hold the World Expo? Don’t lose face for Chinese people.
