I agree that Asia is recognized as a power to be reckoned with in the world.
The Olympic games were awarded to Beijing after an exhaustive ballot of the International Olympic Committee on July 13, 2001. Beijing had once bid to host the 2000 Summer Olympics. It led the voting over the first three rounds, but ultimately lost to Sydney in the final round in 1993. The winning of the 2008 Olympic bid shows the international recognition of China's social stability, economic progress and the healthy life of the Chinese people.
Bejing is the first country in the Asia to hold the Olympics and all the asians are proud of it. China had proven to others that it is good enough to hold such an important event. The Chinese government has promoted the games to highlight China's emergence on the world stage and has invested heavily in new facilities and transportation systems.Perhaps now that China has become the host of the Olympic games, more and more people who are unaware or not concern of Asia in the past would start to take notice of Asia.
I believe that the Beijing Games will also provide a stage for China to present itself to the world. Although Asia is still inferior compared to the Westerners now but I believe that as time goes by, Asia will prove itself to be a much stronger continent.
Super short one. I don’t really understand this topic.
Ruifang. :D
