Guo Weimin said that with the joint efforts of relevant parties at home and abroad, the preparations for the Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics are being advanced simultaneously. All competition venues have been completed, and the Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway and Jingli Expressway have been opened to traffic.
Various preparatory work such as event organization, event services, publicity and promotion, and international exchanges are advancing steadily.
Guo Weimin said that now there is less than a year before the opening of the Winter Olympics, and the preparation of the Winter Olympics has entered a critical period of full sprint. We believe that the relevant departments will coordinate the prevention and control of the epidemic and the preparations for the Winter Olympics, and strive to overcome various problems This kind of difficulty ensures that all the preparatory work before the game can be fully prepared.
Guo Weimin said that some foreign politicians politicized sports in an attempt to disrupt the preparation and holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics. These practices violate the spirit of the Olympic Charter.
"We believe that such a move will not be supported by the international community. It is futile and destined to fail. Recently we have all seen some reports about the International Olympic Committee, the leaders of some countries, and the Olympic committees of some countries. And some business people in the international community have raised objections to this voice." (End)
