China

Description:

The Olympic Games are celebrated around the world as a big sports gala with great significance of maintaining peace, enhancing friendship and promoting civilization. China, one of the most influential countries in the world, is willing to do its best to promote the Olympic sport. It is the aspiration of both Beijing residents and the Chinese people to share the Olympic spirit, take part in Olympic affairs and host the Olympic Games.

Enablers:

1)Beijing has the infrastructure and facilities for hosting the Olympiad.

 The city has modernized infrastructures of telecommunications, transport,
 accommodation and other services. 

2)It also has advanced sports venues. Among the existing 5,000 stadiums in

 Beijing, eight are able to accommodate 5,000 spectators each, and another
 15 can hold 2,000 each. The city is now building a number of state-of-the-art
 sports venues.

3.On the issue of climate change, Beijing has established an alliance with Brazil, South Africa and India (the BASIC countries). India and China have long cooperated on global environmental negotiations (at least dating back to the Montreal Protocol on Substances That Deplete the Ozone Layer in the late 1980s).With the addition of Brazil and South Africa, and perhaps Indonesia, which will be participating in the April BASIC meeting in Cape Town, China has established a broader and more formal negotiating entity.

Inhibitors

1)China's poor human rights record.

2)The absolute poor have concentrated around in Beijing

3)As industry rapidly expands, the city faces a growing problem with pollution

 Pollution is not Beijing's only problem. The city's streets are clogged with
 an ever-growing numbers of cars.
 On the western edge of the city stands one of the worst culprits, the 
 massive   Capital Iron and Steel complex, whose smelters belch vast
 quantities of pollution into the air every day. .

4.China urbanization rate will reach 50% by 2020 and the car market will still increase.

5.China is the largest green gas emission country in 2009 [4]

Paradigms:

1)The journey begins here. It is a journey toward unbounded opportunities,

 toward the most dynamic economy and most promising marketplace in the world.

2)Chinese people will have to get confidence because the Olympic Games provide

 an honorable opportunity to enhance their image and demonstrate their 
 strengths in key technologies, products and services while gaining 
 recognition for their commitment to China's national quest for professional 
 excellence in all realms of business.
