The News Center of the Shanghai World Expo has issued 12,334 registration certificates to Chinese and foreign media personnel on July 31, the half-way point to the end of the World Expo, said Zhu Yonglei, deputy director of the Bureau of Shanghai World Expo Coordination, on July 31.
Zhu released these figures when he attended the changing of the guards and handover ceremony of the volunteers in the News Center. The News Center was officially launched on April 27 and was serviced by a total of 474 volunteers during the first-half of the Expo.
