It is a victory for Beijing. It is a victory for China, and it is a victory for the Olympic spirit. China has a population of 1. Beijing has exciting plans for the Games; moreover, its citizens have great enthusiasm for hosting the event. The highest public support rate among the five candidate cities can be seen on the scrolls of signatures of Chinese people worldwide that seem to stretch from the Great Wall to Lausanne, and to Athens.
The world has felt Beijing's strength and been moved by its sincerity. As mankind enters the new century, there is a consensus among all the people: It is time for Beijing to host the Olympic Games. It is time for the Olympic torch to light the Great Wall. It is time for nearly 1. Tonight is also a night of celebration for the Olympic cause. Allowing the Olympic torch to light China is the best way to promote the globalization of the Olympic Games.
An Olympic Games in the world's fastest-growing economy will create tremendous business opportunities, and will offer a rare chance for the IOC to strengthen its financial resources and to boost the world economy.
And of course, no one can deny that when people from all parts of the world gather in Beijing, the interchange between the Chinese and Western cultures will be unprecedented in the history of human civilization. When the Olympics embraces Beijing, both are winners. China will prove to the world the decision by the IOC at the beginning of the century is wise. We believe Beijing can give the world the best Olympic Games in history.

The editorial notes that the holding of the Olympic Games in the world's most populous country will greatly help promote the Olympic spirit and exchanges between the Chinese and Western cultures.
China's fast-growing economy will also assure that an Olympic Games in Beijing will bring tremendous opportunities for businesses worldwide and greatly promote the development of world trade, says the editorial. It points out that hosting the Olympic Games will offer an important opportunity for China in the beginning of the new century, as it will greatly inspire the patriotism of the Chinese people and promote the rapid development of China's reform and opening-up and socialist modernization drive.
The editorial pledges that China will keep its promises in its bid and spare no efforts in its preparations to present the world with the best Olympic Games ever in history. The attraction and far-reaching significance of staging the Games in a country which has the world's largest population, as well as huge economic potential, won the day.
To most IOC members, Beijing's case for the Games is simple: China is home to a one-fifth of the world's population but never has hosted the Olympics. It is a largely untapped market for the products of corporate sponsors. Many were still waiting to get vaccinated, and said they received little protection against Covid beyond cloth masks and hand sanitizer. There appears to be none of that reluctance in China -- reflecting a confidence in the country's Covid prevention measures, which are broadly popular among the public.
Unlike the vaccination delay before the Tokyo Olympics, China rolled out its inoculation program with remarkable speed and efficiency. So far more than 2. To ensure the Olympics don't cause an outbreak among the population, Chinese organizers will hold the Games in what's been billed as a "Covid-safe bubble" around Beijing, intended to separate athletes and participants from local residents.
Only people who live in mainland China will be allowed to attend the Games as spectators. But the Beijing Games haven't avoided controversy. Human rights activists have called for the United States and other democracies to boycott the event, citing Beijing's alleged human rights abuses in Tibet, Xinjiang and Hong Kong.
The Chinese government has repeatedly denied these claims. International journalists have also criticized organizers for lack of transparency and access.
