What is the philosophy of the Beijing Winter Olympics?

The concept of the Beijing Winter Olympics is green, inclusive, open and clean.

1. To run the Olympics greenly, we must adhere to ecological priority, resource conservation, and environmental friendliness, and lay the foundation for a beautiful China for the Winter Olympics.

Venue construction is the top priority for hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics. It is necessary to adhere to Olympic standards, reverse the construction period, and promote the construction and renovation of venues and the construction of major supporting infrastructure in an orderly manner to ensure that they are completed and put into use on time and with high quality.

It is necessary to highlight the characteristics of science and technology, wisdom, greenness and frugality, focus on the use of advanced scientific and technological means, strictly implement energy conservation and environmental protection requirements, protect the ecological environment and cultural relics and historic sites, and display Chinese style.

2. To enjoy the Olympics, we must insist on joint participation, joint efforts, and joint enjoyment, so that the Winter Olympics can produce good social effects.

An important purpose of bidding to host the Beijing Winter Olympics is to promote the rapid progress of my country's ice and snow sports and promote the widespread development of national fitness. We proposed that we should strive to attract more people to participate in ice and snow sports. The Beijing Winter Olympics will be an important promotion and an important guide for the ice and snow sports industry.

3. To host the Olympics in an open manner, we must persist in facing the world, the future, and modernization, so that the Winter Olympics will become a booster for opening up to the outside world.

The popularity of national fitness campaigns and the degree of participation in international sports cooperation are also important indicators of a country’s modernization level. In the 70 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the health quality of the Chinese people has been greatly improved. From being unable to participate in the Olympic Games in the past, China has now become a leader in many Olympic sports. This is an important manifestation of the development of China's national sports and national strength.

Popularizing ice and snow sports and improving people’s physical fitness are also consistent with China’s realization of the “Two Centenary Goals”. Hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics will also provide new opportunities for China to strengthen international cooperation in sports.

4. To run the Olympics cleanly, we must be diligent and frugal, eliminate corruption, improve efficiency, insist on zero tolerance for doping issues, and run the Winter Olympics as pure and flawless as ice and snow.

It is advocated that even if athletes do not win gold medals in the arena, they must win a gold medal in the Olympic spirit, a gold medal in compliance with laws and regulations, and a clean gold medal. China will firmly host a Winter Olympics that is as clean and pure as ice and snow.
