China and the World Expo

In 1900, China, as a participant, attended the Exposition Universelle et Internationale de Paris.

The China Pavilion was made up of five parts representing the Great Wall, the Confucian Temple, and other famous Chinese sites. Ivory, china, textiles, teas, and other crafts and crops were exhibited at the Expo.

In 1915, the Panama Pacific International Exposition was the 1915 worlds fair held in San Francisco, the United States. The picture shows the China Pavilion at 1915 Expo.

China won 1,211 awards at the San Francisco Expo, becoming the focus of the event. Brandy from the Changyu Wine Company was awarded a gold prize, while Maotai, a famous Chinese liquor brand, won second place.

In 1926, even though China was experiencing a difficult period in its development, it still participated in the Sesqui-Centennial International Exposition in Philadelphia, the United States.

At this Expo, China displayed traditional goods as well as some modern products, including electrical appliances, makeup, and steel. The monosodium glutamate produced by the Shanghai Tien Chu Monosodium Glutamate Factory was awarded a gold prize at the Expo.
