Beijing has accumulated valuable experiences from hosting a number of national-level sports meetings and large, influential international contests, he said. If the International Olympic Committee approves Beijing's bid, we believe that Beijing is able to well handle the event, he said. "If the Olympic Games in the summer of 2008 could be hosted in China, which has one quarter of the world's population, it would help boost the popularization of Olympics among the masses," he said. |
