After closely following the atmosphere of the war in Ukraine, which coincided with the organization of the “Beijing Winter Paralympic Games”, which opened on Friday, March 4, 2022, at the (National Stadium in the capital, “Bird’s Nest” in Beijing). I could easily notice the impact of the Ukrainian-Russian war on the atmosphere and ceremonies of the opening ceremony itself in Beijing, which was overshadowed by a storm of controversy after the (exclusion of the Russian and Belarusian athletes), due to the Russian attack on Ukraine, despite China’s initial approval to host and participate in the players of both “Russia and Belarus”, even under a (neutral flag of the two countries to encourage the spirit of sports competition in the world), away from conflicts and wars, but the determination of many countries and athletes to exclude the Russian and Belarusian athletes from all sports activities and competitions, prevented them from participating in the (Winter Paralympic Games in Beijing). My most important analytical observations on the symbolism and importance of China’s hosting of the “Winter Paralympic Games” in Beijing, despite the global challenges and risks surrounding them are, as follows:
I can describe the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics as “reflecting the words of Chinese President Comrade Xi Jinping” in all his speeches on the “common destiny of mankind and human unity”.
Especially, the holding of the Paralympic Games in the period of the Corona pandemic “Covid-19” and the spread of the “Omicron pandemic” globally as well, was a dangerous matter, but the Chinese government and the organizers of the Winter Olympics in Beijing and the Paralympic Games as well have designed a new strategy to facilitate the matter and maintain the health situation well.
Despite the Chinese welcoming of openness and peace building, and raising the slogan of the “principle of non-politicization of sport”, by avoiding the language of war and conflict in the Paralympic Games, Russia and Belarus were excluded from participating in sports. Here, I can describe the Chinese insistence on welcoming everyone’s participation in the Paralympics, despite the Chinese emphasis on “not politicizing sports and sporting events”. Therefore, the symbolism of this Chinese openness to the world, and its rejection of the politicization of sports in the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in Beijing in 2022, is that the words of Chinese President Comrade “Xi Jinping” are reflected in all his speeches on the “common destiny of mankind and human unity”.
China has raised the slogan “joint preparation for the Olympics”, as a basis for dealing with the preparatory work for the Winter Olympics, and considering it, as a (major project for the livelihood and happiness of the Chinese people, and the mobilization of all social forces to participate in it, so that the Chinese people benefit from it).
What was striking to me was the opening ceremony speech of the President of the International Paralympic Committee, “Andrew Parsons”, his clear reference to the themes of peace and sporting excellence, and his emphasis on:
“The 21st century is a time for dialogue and diplomacy, not war and hate, and the Olympic Truce must be respected and not violated. Here in Beijing, Paralympic athletes from 46 different countries will compete with each other, not against each other. humanity, and they will shed light on the values on which a peaceful and inclusive world should be based”
China has proven during the Paralympic Games that it has a great global ability to host the Paralympic Games, as it did in the Winter Olympics, and even increased its chances of organizing all the upcoming global sporting events.
The opening ceremony of the Paralympic Games on Friday, March 4, 2022, in the Chinese capital, “Beijing”, was promoted as carrying a slogan and messages for all humanity, under the title: “A message of peace”. This is something that various countries of the world have been waiting for during the opening day of the Winter Paralympics. Through its success in hosting global sporting events, China showed world leaders its ability to “unite mankind and its sporting destiny, and also to address epidemics such as the “Covid-19 Pandemic”. The Beijing Winter Paralympic Games raised a very important slogan, that we can unite as human beings and to enhance our true strength in order to uphold the values of peace, understanding and inclusion globally.
Guided by the vision of hosting its Winter Paralympics, China has made a “green, inclusive, open and clean” Paralympic Games, and has made unremitting efforts and steady progress to ensure that the demands of the International Paralympic Committee are met, and the demands of all players are satisfied and the players are satisfied. Which made it more confident and better prepared for the International Paralympic sports event, and proved its ability to host all international sporting events.
The Chinese government was keen to (complete the construction of all twelve stadiums to host the Beijing Winter Olympics and the 2022 Paralympics), and was keen to support it with advanced scientific technology. Beijing is a world-class advanced.
The Chinese government has completed all the final touches and improvements to all venues for hosting Paralympic sports events in an unprecedented global manner, and (rehabilitating the three Olympic villages in Beijing to be able to host the International Paralympic sports event). In addition, the renovation of the venues for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing 2022 Games has been successfully completed.
China has developed the areas of (Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou) for the competitions in the Beijing 2022 Winter Paralympic Games, which were hosted by Beijing and Zhangjiakou, as the joint host city in (Northern China’s Hebei Province), China has equipped them with the highest advanced levels to receive guests and players from all over the world and its responsible as well.
I have noticed the start of Chinese procedures since the end of 2021, to complete the preparation of more than (12 international stadiums adequately for the needs of the players participating in the Winter Paralympic Games), in addition to ensuring strong and clear Chinese procedures, policies and controls to complete the organization of the hosting activities of the International Paralympic Games for a period of three weeks, to include: (Training, comprehensive qualification, sports competitions themselves), through China conducting practical sports experiments, and conducting two local experiments in an organized manner, with the aim of testing and succeeding everything related to the Paralympic sports and competitions in Beijing.
The Chinese experience has become successful in (hosting all these competitions and Paralympic activities, with the participation of more than 2000 athletes and international Paralympic players), with officials of their training and preparation team and other individuals from abroad, as well as a number of prominent officials and important international figures.
It is believed that China conducted such comprehensive tests to ensure that all possibilities for hosting the International Paralympic Games came out, which included tightening closed procedures, policies and controls throughout the period of the sports competitions themselves for safety amid the Covid-19 epidemic, in accordance with (operational and safety standards in actual competitions). China has laid a strong foundation to ensure the safe and smooth hosting of the Paralympic Games in Beijing as scheduled globally with the best capabilities.
Here, we can find praise from the international community and the officials of the International Paralympic Committee itself, as well as all (the unanimous positive reactions from the outstanding Paralympic athletes), who participated in the Winter Paralympic sports competitions in Beijing 2022.
It has also been (improving and developing all the accommodations of the Paralympic players, and the quality of the places and areas in which they were staying in Beijing very much). There was a lot of admiration on their part, not only regarding participation in these sporting events, but their unanimous positive feedback on both China’s organizing of the technical aspect and their personal admiration for the Chinese hosting of them.
China has extended its arms to assist outstanding Paralympic athletes in winter sports from various countries with their escorts. Paralympic athletes, in their presence in China, acquired many wonderful sports and technical organizational skills, through frequent training, good quality and hosting, which (supported their future relationship with China, so that everyone gathers together in Beijing under the Paralympic banner).
Here, we can apply the meaning of (the mathematical common destiny of mankind to all the Paralympic athletes in Beijing as opponents in sports competitions and representatives of Paralympic values), which is represented in excellence, friendship, respect and solidarity, inspiring and helping each other to improve performance.
The Paralympic Games in China are a miniature version of the global village, where athletes, doing their best to realize their dreams, live under one roof in the olympic villages, and (their communicating with each other, they learn about the distinctive magic of different cultures, and sow seeds of peace, friendship and progress in all directions, turning the world into a unified team).
China was also able and succeeded in (disseminating its concepts of the unity of human destiny by linking countries more closely through sports), so the capital, Beijing, appeared in 2022, as the great stage in which many good stories arose.
The Chinese Paralympic Committee has also been (keen to strengthen and spread the slogans it believes in globally, with an emphasis on the word “together”). The length of the Paralympic Games, for a stronger Paralympic sports community.
Hence, (China sent a clear message to the International Paralympic Committee and the world, consistent with the idea of building a community with a shared future for mankind, during China’s hosting of the Winter Olympics in a safe and advanced technological and unprecedented manner), so China gave global impetus to the International Paralympic event, in The same irresistible trend of the times, in order to realize the values of peace, development and win-win cooperation, that is, between China and the international Paralympic players.
Thus, Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions, and Chinese power, along with the Olympic Games, added a strong impetus to building a better world, after that international testimony and the great international consensus on (China’s ability to unite all these different human beings, and considering that an inherent goal in the Winter Paralympics).
And we can confirm the success of the 2022 Winter Paralympic Games will (connect the Chinese people with the world, change the views of global Paralympic players and their vision of China away from the politicization of sports and sporting events), they will understand the country’s vision and (engage with millions of people and fans to improve all misinformation about China).
China emerged as a (strong promoter and practitioner of the true Paralympic spirit and the international Paralympic sports movement), paving the way for China to present a wonderful painting depicting China’s superiority in organizing winter sports to the world.
China has also succeeded in the (global challenge represented in its ability to host important international sporting events after the outbreak of the “Covid-19” epidemic), all over the world, as the Paralympic spirit and the power of sports played a unique role in the response of all the participating countries to the challenge. Here, people in different countries are looking forward to the opening of the Beijing Paralympic Games in Beijing 2022, which will be an occasion that the whole world will praise the value of passion, dreams, courage and strength, as well as teamwork and solidarity.
The main opening words of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, were:
“Let us all anticipate the moment when the Paralympic torch will light the sky in Beijing and make the torch of hope shine in everyone’s hearts. Let us work together for a common future, that is the essence of what the International Paralympic Movement does and what it represents in terms of universally shared values, foundations and standards, which we must not lose sight of, whatever the circumstances”
From here, we arrive at the fact that China’s success in presenting an honorable image of it globally at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Paralympic Games has become an inspiring and unique experience for the whole world, and the Chinese production of the event has succeeded globally, by conveying to the world how the Chinese people understand the world, and the global view of China in the new era of during the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the words of the Chinese President, Comrade “Xi Jinping”, succeeded in saying: “We hope to convey the concept of value of the bond of common future for mankind to the world through technical methods and methods”.
