On January 19, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference. A reporter asked: The head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Bureau said that the Russian side has a large amount of relevant information about the United States and its allies trying to maliciously interfere with the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics and smear the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Zhao Lijian said: We have noted relevant reports, and just as Director Naryshkin said, the practice of sabotaging 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 still less in line with the mainstream public opinion of the international community.
Zhao Lijian stressed that at present, the preparatory work for the Beijing Winter Olympics has entered the sprint stage, China has made preparations, and we are confident that by hosting this Winter Olympics, we will inject more unity confidence and positive energy into the international community.
