Xi spares no effort to ensure Games' success

Alexander Ayertey Odonkor, a chartered financial analyst and a columnist for the China Global Television Network, said China has succeeded in using the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics to promote unity, peace and common prosperity, contributing significantly to addressing global challenges now and in the future.

While the opening ceremony of Beijing 2022 sent a strong message of togetherness in response to the worldwide impact of COVID-19, the top-notch, smart and sustainable infrastructure built for the Games, which have generated tremendous social, economic and environmental rewards, have also signaled hope for the entire world, Odonkor said.

Although the Beijing Olympics have drawn to a close, some warm and memorable moments during the competition remain. For instance, millions of Chinese netizens are enchanted by the fitness, elegance and sweet demeanor of Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu, and the feelings are mutual.

And despite smearing by some US politicians and media about the Beijing Games, US snowboarder Tessa Maud shared online with her fans how China made her feel.
