I'm glad to hear that China News Network has opened a new column about e-sports. On behalf of the Global E-sports Federation (GEF), I would like to express my congratulations.
I believe that a news organization with long-term influence at home and abroad like China News Service is willing to play its unique role in the continuous development and innovation of the digital economy in e-sports and simulated sports, which is very gratifying. .
E-sports is a product of the modernization process, and it is constantly improving and developing rapidly in digital high-tech.
Its production is international, and it can be said that it is the inevitable product of the combination of sports competition and cultural creativity in the digital age.
Its appearance, existence and development shows that it has a certain rationality of the times.
Its audience in the world and in China continues to increase, which also shows that it has a wide range of universality.
It really enriches the various formats of competitive activities, and also satisfies the diversity of people's interests in their spare time.
After years of research and observation, the International Olympic Committee has a positive identification of e-sports.
At the same time, a new format combining e-sports and traditional sports has been added to the Olympic family, which is called simulation sports competition, and the first sports electronic simulation games will be held in Singapore in March next year.

The 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games to be held next year will make e-sports an official event, and the just-concluded Commonwealth Games have also successfully included the Commonwealth E-sports Championship as an integral part of the Commonwealth Games.
The upcoming Pan American Games, South American Games, African Games, and European All-European Games have also decided to make eSports an official part of the Games in one form or another.
E-sports has become a member of the international Olympic family, embodying the new concept of the modern era of faster, higher, stronger and more united Olympics proposed by the President of the International Olympic Committee, Dr. Bach.
It is undeniable that new things emerging in social, economic and scientific progress will have their spillover effects in practice.
The positive spillover effect needs to be advocated by people, and its negative effect will emerge in response to the situation and spread faster, and e-sports is no exception.
Negative effects, as everyone knows, I will not say.
In the virtual reality of the digital age, the combination of high-tech innovations, including the metaverse, has gradually become a basic skill.
For example, computer surgery in telemedicine, and the rapid response ability of modern information warfare may be cultivated and trained in youth, and e-sports may become a means.
Therefore, the healthy and orderly development of e-sports, according to the successful experience and methods accumulated in traditional sports for many centuries, combined with the application of science and technology, it is possible to make e-sports also play the role of traditional sports. This is the direction of our joint efforts. .
It is up to human beings to do what should be done, not what should be done.
I sincerely hope that China News Service will also make a difference in e-sports and contribute to the healthy and orderly development of the society.
