ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the way ideas of China's role as leader of a harmonious world proliferated at Expo 2010. Expo 2010 took place in the tradition of scientific and industrial world fairs following on from the Great Exhibition of Industries of All Nations that was held in London in 1851. Unit-based spatial imaginaries are immediately obvious at the Expo. As for the unit-based territorialization of this surface, the Expo site is organized as an imagined state system, divided into bounded continents of national pavilions. The chapter proposes the songs in the pre-programmed manner suggested by predominant imaginings at the Expo. Thus, it aims to take one step in such a direction and provoke us into thinking of China's harmonious mega events beyond representation, reality and ideology to think of them also in terms of simulation.
