　　China News Service, June 5 (Xinhua) According to Kyodo News, the Japanese government and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government have begun to discuss simplified adjustments to the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games due to the impact of the new coronavirus epidemic until next summer. .

　　The chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, Morihiro Mori, held talks with Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike on the 4th and unanimously agreed to promote the rationalization of the competition in a visible manner. Regardless of the "complete form" proposed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, in order to avoid being cancelled, I will try my best to explore alternative plans for hosting the Olympic Games under the epidemic.

The picture shows the electronic countdown clock for the Olympic Games in front of Tokyo Station on March 25th. Due to the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, the countdown clock no longer displays the countdown number, but is replaced by the date and real-time time of the day.

　　Koike said before the talks about the operation of the event, "it is willing to work with the central government and the Olympic Organizing Committee on various studies that should be rationalized and simplified."

　　The specific anti-epidemic measures and other operational plans are under the charge of the Olympic Organizing Committee. Spokesperson Gao Guzhengzhe admitted at the press conference on the 4th that "the new crown countermeasures during the Olympics next year are the biggest issue," and said that the new crown countermeasures at the operational level will be discussed in detail from this fall .

　　The International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Committee will hold an online meeting on the 10th of this month, planning to hear reports on the progress of Tokyo.

　　Within the Japanese government, the arguments for simplifying the Olympic Games for epidemic prevention were sorted out, including reducing the audience and streamlining the opening and closing ceremonies. However, reducing the audience involves many issues such as the disposal of sold tickets and the shrinking income of the Olympic Committee. Significant change plans also require close consultation with IOC.

　　In an interview with the Olympics Hashimoto Saiko, he only said: "Because it is the discussion of the IOC, the Olympic Organizing Committee and Tokyo, we will really pay attention to the trend in the future."

　　Due to the spread of the New Coronary Pneumonia epidemic, the Tokyo Olympics has been scheduled to open from July 24, 2020, and will be postponed to July 23 to August 8, 2021. The Tokyo Paralympic Games will be held from August 24 to 20, 2021. Held on the 5th.
