U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton<\/strong> is in Shanghai, China. She visited the U.S. and Chinese Pavilions at the city’s international Expo on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Secretary Clinton stopped first at the international Expo’s USA Pavilion. <\/strong>Its theme highlights American innovation, diversity, opportunity, community service and eco-friendly development.<\/p>\n

Part of the American exhibition is a film called “American Spirit”, which features Mrs. Clinton.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Secretary Clinton toured the pavilion, which is one of the biggest at the Expo and cost $61 million to build. It was financed through corporate sponsors, several of whom were there to welcome Clinton and show her around their displays.<\/p>\n

She also met a small group of Chinese children who gave her artwork they had made. She offered them teddy bears dressed in the colors of the American flag – red, white and blue.<\/p>\n

So-called ‘student ambassadors’ are also a big part of the American pavilion experience. These university students speak excellent Mandarin and interact with the crowd, many of whom have never met an American before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pavilion has become one of the most popular, with crowds waiting in lines for up to four hours – even in the rain. U.S. officials say a half million visitors have already passed through the pavilion since it opened May 1st. <\/p>\n

Secretary Clinton is on the second leg of an Asian tour that began in Japan on Friday.<\/strong> She will continue to Beijing for political and economic talks on Monday, and wrap up the tour in the South Korean capital of Seoul next Wednesday.<\/p>\n
