Arriving in Beijing: The closed loop of the Beijing Winter Olympics is an "elaborate system" that makes people feel safe

[Global Times-Global Network Report Reporter Xing Xiaojing Xu Keyue] The Beijing Winter Olympics are about to open, and athletes, staff and media from all over the world have arrived in Beijing one after another to assemble, making Beijing's epidemic prevention measures the focus of external attention. Japanese reporters were deeply impressed by the "bubble" of epidemic prevention during the Winter Olympics, and one of the reporters said in an interview with the Global Times reporter a few days ago that the closed loop is an "elaborate system" and that Beijing's epidemic prevention system makes people "feel safe".

The Japanese journalist, who asked for anonymity, arrived in Beijing on January 27 to enter the closed loop of the Olympic Games, and on the 2nd, he shared his personal experience of Beijing's epidemic prevention measures in an interview with the Global Times reporter. According to him, starting from the download of "My2022) in Japan, a series of work has been carried out to enter the closed loop, including daily reporting of physical condition, obtaining vaccination certificates, receiving nucleic acid tests, obtaining green codes, and customs declarations.

When entering China, workers in protective clothing can be seen on the taxiway of Beijing Capital International Airport, where the plane lands, which makes people feel "different." At the same time, the Olympic-only passage set up by the airport makes people feel convenient and comfortable.

After entering the closed loop, the Japanese reporter believes that "this is an elaborate system", he said, Japan has recently had large-scale infections for many consecutive days, and Beijing's epidemic prevention system makes people feel safe.

Japan's Kyodo News Agency, Jiji News Agency and other media have previously disclosed the experience of experiencing the "real bubble" of epidemic prevention in Beijing, saying that the 2020 Tokyo Olympics cannot be compared. In this regard, the Japanese reporter told the Global Times reporter that because he did not report on the Tokyo Olympic Games on the spot, he could not make a detailed comparison, but at that time, he could enter Japan after a certain period of isolation and could go to the street, which was a huge difference from the Beijing epidemic prevention system.

The Japanese reporter believes that the Tokyo Olympics is the first Olympic Games under the epidemic, an exploration, at least to a certain extent, to provide a reference for Beijing, and in this regard, the Tokyo Olympic Games are also meaningful. It is reported that the reporter will return to Japan after the closing ceremony and plans to undergo a 10-day self-quarantine at home.

A reporter from Japan's Kyoto Shimbun also shared his experience of entering the closed loop in Beijing on the 2nd. The reporter said that at beijing Capital International Airport, he was greeted by staff in protective clothing, who were loudly guided and "did not feel left out in the cold." After receiving a nucleic acid test at the airport, take a special bus to the hotel where the media is staying, and after the test result is negative, you can enter the Olympic "bubble".

In addition to Japanese journalists, people in other parts of the world have also expressed their affirmation of Beijing's epidemic prevention measures. Victor, president of the German Olympic Sports League (DOSB), praised the implementation of strict hygiene measures at the Beijing Winter Olympics. He said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency a few days ago that if you look at the closed-loop system and how to further improve it after learning from the experience of the Tokyo Olympics, (you will know why I am) very confident that once you enter the closed loop, you will have more opportunities to focus on sports.

In addition, USA Today columnist Christine Brennan tweeted a picture of a cutely shaped "disinfection robot" with the caption "It's very clean here" (pictured below). It turned out that this "big-eyed" disinfection robot could disinfect guests in the hotel lobby, and Christine expressed "surprise" at this operation. The tweet attracted foreign netizens to watch, and some people left a message saying that "(so) it is impossible not to be clean." It is worth mentioning that Japan's Yahoo News Network reported Christine's tweet on the 2nd, and commented that "the media of various countries are willing to report on the Beijing Winter Olympics from all angles."
