Russia’s ambassador to China says it is futile to smear Beijing winter Olympics

On January 25, Russian Ambassador to China Denisov responded to questions related to the Beijing Winter Olympics at the annual press conference.But there has been some international noise about the Beijing Winter Olympics.In fact, Beijing isn’t the only event to be maliciously hyped. Sochi, Russia, had similar problems eight years ago when it hosted the Games.In response to these remarks, Denisov said that, in fact, every time a country holds a large positive energy event, there are always a group of people who want to disrupt the event for their own political interests.They tried to undermine Russia’s reputation as a host country by promoting fake news.But these attempts are futile and have no substantive basis. After seeing [the successful Hosting of the Winter Olympics], these malicious slanders will disappear naturally.”I am sure it will be the same this time.”Andrei denisov, stressed that the opening of the Beijing Olympics is “double happiness” for Russia, on the one hand, Russia will send lineup huge sports delegation to attend the winter Olympic Games, on the other hand, Russian President vladimir putin will be the delegation to Beijing, and will hold talks with Chinese leaders to meet, it is very important for Russia’s political agenda.Putin also said he was looking forward to meeting on the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics. “I have no doubt that our Chinese friends will successfully host the Winter Olympics,” he said.On November 23, 2021, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian said in a press interview that the grand event is a good tradition between China and Russia that has been formed over the years.In 2014, President Xi Jinping attended the opening ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympic Games upon invitation.This time, President Xi also invited his good friend President Putin to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, and President Putin accepted the invitation with pleasure.The two sides are in close communication on specific matters concerning President Putin’s visit to China.Zhao lijian pointed out that he believed that the winter Olympics meeting between the two heads of state would once again explain the partnership between China and Russia, in which people of both countries wish each other well and neighbors wish each other well. He believed that athletes of the two countries would make further achievements and make due contributions to presenting a “simple, safe and wonderful” sports event to the world.Putin’s visit to China is under active preparation.According to Sputnik news agency, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is currently preparing for comprehensive talks with China, because the situation is changing rapidly and Russia has to act flexibly.Talk about Mr Putin’s visit, andrei denisov, said Mr Putin’s visit to China is not only a big event of china-russia relations, also is the focus of attention all over the world, with Mr Putin’s visit to China in 2018, the schedule affected by the outbreak of the new champions league, communication, travel at present is mainly talks to highlight is that Mr Putin will attend the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony, other activities are not included in the plan.In 10 days, Chinese and Russian leaders will jointly attend the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Beijing.Denisov said he believed it would be a great encouragement for the athletes and would encourage them to achieve great results in their respective events.It reminded Denisov of 2018.Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin watch a friendly ice hockey match between Chinese and Russian youth in Tianjin, North China’s Tianjin municipality, June 8, 2018.The two were in the center of the ice with the puck down to the ice for the kickoff.Denisov recalled that the children tried to be on their best behavior under the gaze of the two heads of state.There will be more extensive sports exchanges between China and Russia in the future.From 2022 to 2023, China and Russia will hold the Year of Sports Exchange, which is the eighth state-level themed year for China and Russia.Related planning work is under way, Denisov said, adding that tomorrow sports authorities from China and Russia will hold a video dialogue.China and Russia can form a “complementary” relationship in the development of sports. Russia is strong in winter sports, while China performs well in summer sports, and can introduce experience to each other.
