World Expo a boost to Shanghai's global financial center goal: economist - People's Daily Online
The Shanghai World Expo provided a boost to the city's efforts to transform itself into a global financial center, a leading Shanghai-based economist said in an interview with Xinhua Thursday.
The six-month event not only stimulated infrastructure construction and consumption, but could also showcase Shanghai's managerial expertise and economic vitality on this unique stage, said Lian Ping, chief economist of the Bank of Communications, China's fifth largest lender.
"The Expo will help attract more bankers and investors from both home and abroad to visit the city and do business here. The event will become a growth engine of the city and neighboring provinces for the next decade," Lian said.
The Shanghai World Expo, scheduled to open on May 1, will be the largest world exhibition ever and is expected to attract 70 million visitors from both home and abroad.
"The municipal government should also endeavor to attract top financial talents to the city by more competitive salaries and long-term incentives," he added.
The Chinese government decided in March 2009 to build the eastern metropolis into an international financial and shipping center in line with the country's economic strength and the international status of its currency by 2020.

Largest radio telescope in Asia to be built in Xinjiang - People's Daily Online
A radio telescope with a diameter of 80 meters will be constructed in the south of Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, and it will be the biggest radio telescope in Asia and the third largest in the world, according to a report from Urumqi Online.
The radio telescope will mainly be used for observing special pulsars and stars in distant space, said officials from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the National Astronomical Observatory.
At the same time, it is also important for Chinese research in astrophysics, aerospace technology and other areas. The radio telescope is very sensitive and can be used to observe a broader scope. It is called a radio telescope because a radio antenna is used to observe radio waves emitted by astronomical sources.
The special geographical location and excellent radio station sites in Xinjiang have unique advantages for the construction and operation of large diameter telescopes. Therefore, Xinjiang will make full use of its advantages, develop the key technologies needed for the project, complete the project as planned and will strive to make this platform an internationally renowned science research center.
Currently, the site selection of the project is coming to a close, and the final selection will be based on the actual conditions. After which, one of the three sites in the south of Xinjiang will be selected to build the 80-meter radio telescope.
