Regarding the Tokyo Olympics, which ended on the 8th, Chinese media said, "Even though the infection with the new coronavirus has re-expanded, it has exceeded expectations."
China is planning to hold the Winter Olympics six months later, and plans to proceed with preparations while referring to infection control measures at the Tokyo Games.
Among them, the Chinese Communist Party media "Global Times" was held in an editorial dated 9th about the Tokyo Olympics "in a crisis situation where the infection of the new coronavirus spreads again, but the excitement exceeded expectations. I showed it. This is a victory for all humankind. "
Six months later, the Winter Olympics will be held in February next year in Beijing, China, but the editorial also points out that "the success of the Tokyo Games has made the success of the Beijing Games more certain."
This time, the Chinese side has dispatched an inspection team of about 30 people to the Tokyo tournament, and while referring to a series of infection control measures, we would like to make the Beijing tournament a national prestige event that symbolizes the suppression of infection.
However, since the end of last month, the highly infectious mutant virus "Delta strain" has been on the rise in China, and the Chinese government plans to proceed with preparations while paying close attention to the spread of infection worldwide in the future.
