Title

First National Exhibit of the People's Republic of China at Navy Pier

Description

A towering structure with several flags on the roof, decorative motifs and the words "Exhibition of the People's Republic of China" at Navy Pier, Chicago in November 1980.

The signing of the Sino-US Trade Exhibitions Agreement in 1979 led to the hosting of three exhibitions in San Francisco, Chicago and New York City by the People's Republic of China for the first time. Each exhibition showcased aspects of China's industries and culture. America also reciprocated with an exhibition of its own in Beijing.
