Opposition to China's Olympics Bid Accused

China accused a number of U.S. congressmen October 2 of blocking China's bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games, saying such action is a blatant contempt for and challenge to the Olympic principles.

Recently, some members of the U.S. House of Representatives tabled a motion asking the International Olympic Committee to block China's bid to host the 2008 Olympics.

When asked to comment on the issue today, Foreign Ministry spokesman Sun Yuxi said by supporting Beijing's bid, the Chinese people are developing the Olympic movement, promoting the Olympic spirit, and making their own contribution to the realization of peace, friendship and progress of mankind.

In this year's Olympic Games, the excellent performances by the Chinese athletes were the best embodiment of the Olympic spirit, he said, stressing any discrimination against a certain country or a certain person for ethnic, religious, political, gender or other reasons is incompatible with the spirit of the Olympic Games.

Such an action by a handful of anti-China congressmen, out of prejudice against China, will inevitably meet with opposition from the justice-upholding people all over the world, Sun said.
