Join hands in Beijing to build the Olympic dream
The just past June 23 is the International Olympic Day. Its purpose is to encourage everyone in the world, regardless of gender, age or sports skill level, to participate in sports activities. In China, the Olympic motto of "higher, faster, stronger" is well-known to every household. It not only represents the unremitting efforts of athletes in competitive sports, but also demonstrates the persistent spirit of the Chinese people to actively participate in sports and constantly surpass themselves. Following the successful hosting of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China will soon host the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in 2022. By then, Beijing will become the only "Double Olympic City" in the world to host the Summer and Winter Olympics. It will also be the second capital city to host the Winter Olympics after a full 70 years after Oslo, Norway in 1952. It is destined to be in a century. The history of the Olympics has left a strong mark.
The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will build a broad stage to promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. The Olympic dream has long been not only a Chinese dream, but also the embodiment of mankind's supreme ideal and pursuit of purity, and a link to create a harmonious world. As President Xi Jinping said, civilizations are enriched by exchanges, and civilizations are enriched by mutual learning. The Olympic Movement is conducive to the mutual promotion of China's sports and social and economic development and the development of the World Olympic Movement, and it is conducive to promoting exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese civilization and civilizations of all countries in the world, giving the Chinese people the opportunity to once again contribute to the development of the Olympic movement and the spread of the Olympic spirit. At the same time, China took the opportunity of preparing for the Beijing Winter Olympics to promote the popularization and development of ice and snow sports, with in-depth international exchanges and cooperation, and remarkable results in sustainable development and heritage work.
The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will provide an important opportunity to enhance the understanding and friendship of people of all countries. China insists on hosting the Olympics in a green, shared, open, and clean manner. The hosting philosophy is in line with the efforts to jointly build the "Belt and Road", promote the construction of green civilization, and fight corruption and uphold integrity. As sports exchanges are increasingly becoming a part of the exchanges between China and countries along the “Belt and Road”, the Winter Olympics can further promote the exchange of athletes between different countries and promote the understanding and friendship of the world's people. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Philippines 46 years ago, the sports circles of the two countries have had frequent exchanges and cooperation. They have signed a number of memorandums of cooperation and carried out many training cooperation projects, which have become a highlight in the bilateral relations between the two countries. The Philippines is a major sports country and has great potential for development in the Winter Olympics. It is believed that the friendly exchanges between China and the Philippines in the field of sports will continue to drive the further healthy development of bilateral relations.
The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will also inject strong impetus to dispel the global epidemic. The Winter Olympics is a grand event for all mankind. Although the world is still facing the test brought about by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the charm of sports remains undiminished. It is in sports that we bridge the pain and differences, spread light and hope, and provide positive energy for global unity in the fight against the epidemic. China took the lead in controlling the domestic epidemic and realizing economic recovery, creating favorable conditions for the successful hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics. We strictly implement prevention and control measures, overcome the impact of the epidemic, and actively promote the steady progress of various preparations. At the same time, China and the International Olympic Committee have strengthened vaccine cooperation to jointly build an effective barrier to protect athletes from participating safely. We are fully confident to work with all parties to make the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics a simple, safe and exciting Olympic event.
Time is not slow, walking, moving. Recently, the Beijing Winter Olympic Village was fully completed and delivered to the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, officially entering the "Winter Olympic Time". In more than 200 days, the 24th Winter Olympics will officially open in Beijing, China. The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and the Winter Paralympics are another solemn commitment made by China to the international Olympic movement. Participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics is also the eager expectation of winter Olympic sports fans from all over the world. Defending the Olympic spirit, upholding the independence of sports, and opposing the politicization of sports is the consistent common position of hundreds of millions of Chinese people, and it is also the true call of many insightful people in the international community. This is unstoppable by any murmur or political manipulation with ulterior motives. . In 2022, let us join hands in Beijing to witness the pure charm of ice and snow sports and build a better Olympic dream and world vision together!
