International Online Report (Reporter: Wu Qian): Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zhao Lijian pointed out at a regular press conference on the 19th that the practice of sabotaging and smearing the Beijing Winter Olympics is doomed to be unpopular, let alone successful.
According to reports, Sergei Naryshkin, director of Russia's foreign intelligence bureau, said a few days ago that the Russian side has a lot of information showing that the United States and its allies are maliciously interfering in the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics on a large scale.
In this regard, Zhao Lijian said,
"We have noted the relevant reports. As Director Nareshkin said, the practice of undermining and smearing the Beijing Winter Olympics harms the interests of athletes from all countries and the international Olympic cause, completely violates the Olympic spirit, and is even less in line with the mainstream public opinion of the international community. This approach is not only very narrow, but also completely wrong. ”
Zhao Lijian said that at present, the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics have entered the sprint stage, China has made preparations, and China is confident that it will inject more unity, confidence and positive energy into the international community by hosting the Winter Olympics.
Zhao Lijian also confirmed on the same day that the Chinese side has issued corresponding visas to some members of the US team composed of government officials. He hoped that the US side would put the Olympic spirit into practice and work with the Chinese side to create a good atmosphere for athletes from all over the world to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
