The best record in the history of Chinese ice and snow athletes at the Beijing Winter Olympic Committee is the impression that a peacefully rising China has shown to the world. More and more overseas Chinese and even foreign athletes without Chinese ancestry are willing to naturalize China and contribute to China's ice and snow sports and other sports, which is the charm of China as a big country with a 5,000-year-old civilization.
