So China won the bid for Worlcon. Not a locale I’m eager to visit for many reasons. Is this a chance to open up the Chinese view of SF and the world, or just a bad idea overall?
I’ve heard that Chengdu is really, really nice, but that’s a much longer flight than Beijing or Shanghai unless you’re coming from Europe.
After the 13+ hour flight from the Americas to one of China’s more major airports, the additional hop to Chengdu is nothing.
It’s still 3:30 hours from Shanghai and 3:15 from Beijing and that’s not counting the time you will spend in the airport. I would still very much like to visit Chengdu some day, but not for a convention.

I suppose Raytheon wouldn’t be sponsoring the Hugos
…or would they?
