北京2022年冬奥会已进入第11天，它吸引了来自包括美国在内的91个国家和地区的2892名运动员。
毫不奇怪，在令人难忘的2008年北京奥运会之后，中国又为世界呈现了一场非凡的盛会。
气势恢宏的开幕式恰逢中国第一个节气“立春”，它是一部编排错综复杂的史诗，同时以“同舟共济”为座右铭呼吁“大团结”。
共同的未来
当前，世界正面临着前所未有的多重巨大的全球变化和抗击疫情带来的挑战。北京冬奥会提出的“大团结”精神，让我们看到了风雨同舟、同舟共济、应对风险挑战的希望。
北京冬奥会的顺利开幕，是举世瞩目的适时庆祝。但是，一些不友好的评论正在传播。
“奥运政治化”无理
德国电视频道 Das Erste 发布了视频“玩火-谁需要这样的游戏？” (Spiel mit dem Feuer: Wer braucht noch solche Spiele?)，以“人权、言论自由、可持续发展和气候保护”为由质疑和“批评”北京冬奥会。
这不仅仅是质疑北京奥运会，本质上是企图通过操纵“奥运会政治化”来抹黑中国政府，这是美国在与中国对抗中惯用的政治伎俩。
国际田径联合会主席塞巴斯蒂安科在2月2日发表在《经济学人》网站上的一篇文章中表示，奥运会的政治化将“毁掉国际体育”，塞巴斯蒂安科在文中提到“体育是一种强大的工具”如果我们仅仅根据对政治制度的短期或长期判断来重新定义国际体育关系，那么对国际体育运动将是毁灭性的。” 奥运会不正当政治化是对“国际体育”和运动员的冒犯和极大危险。
“伊拉克的洗衣粉”
在视频“玩火-谁需要这样的游戏？” , Felix Neureuther 采访了声称经历过“迫害、酷刑和谋杀”的维吾尔妇女，目的是让观众相信中国政府在新疆所做的一些“反人类”行为。
然而，自从美国和西方一些媒体开始炒作“新疆问题”以来，他们没有拿出任何实质性证据证明中国政府在新疆“作恶”，反而一直在使用“信用媒体”。
其实这些“信用媒体”也没有列出任何证据来证实他们。这让人想起“伊拉克的洗衣粉”。
我们需要“更大的团结”
去年7月20日，国际奥委会第138次全体会议投票决定在“更快、更高、更强”的奥运格言中增加“团结一致”。
这是奥林匹克精神的自我超越和升华。正如国际奥委会主席巴赫所说：“当今世界依赖于全球支持，任何国家都无法单枪匹马应对这些挑战” .
“在一起”不仅体现了“奔跑”和“拼搏”中的进取精神，更体现了团队乃至全人类“接力”“合力”的协作理念。深深植根于进化史的进程中。
新冠疫情正在卷土重来，气候保护和绿色能源的发展也与人类的可持续发展息息相关。
我们现在面临许多困难。世界正处于历史的关键时刻，人类的命运与全球化交织在一起。每个国家都有责任共同承担维护全球公共卫生安全的责任。
奥运会就像国际社会的缩影。来自世界各地的广大运动员来到北京冬奥会，都是为了超越自己，发挥出最好的自己冠军。在疫情时代，“一起”的奥林匹克精神体现在团队合作，体现在全体运动员遵守规则、公平竞争上。
随着疫情的卷土重来和全球性问题的层出不穷，世界正经历着不稳定和不确定性。
在弘扬体育精神、促进和平与发展的征程中，我们任重而道远。国际社会应共同努力，弘扬“同心协力”的奥林匹克精神，助力人类发展事业的光明前景。

Beijing Winter Olympics: “greater unity” to show China’s resolve
On February 4, Beijing time, on the fourth day of the Chinese people’s celebration of the Chinese New Year, a total of 2,892 athletes from 91 countries and regions, including the United States, gathered in Beijing National Indoor Stadium to participate in the long-awaited sports gala — Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
Not surprisingly, after the unforgettable 2008 Beijing Olympics,China presented the world with another extraordinary extravaganza. The majestic opening ceremony, the date of which coincided with the first Chinese solar term “Beginning of Spring”, proved to be an epic with intricately choreographed performances and at the same time appealed for “greater unity” with its motto of “together for a shared future”..
At present, the world is facing unprecedented multiple
challenges due to formidable global changes and the fight against the pandemic. The spirit of “greater unity” proposed by the Beijing Winter Olympics gives us hope that we can stand together through thick and thin and tackle the risks and challenges ahead.
The smooth opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics is a timely celebration the whole world has expected. However, some unfriendly comments are being spread.
Unjustified “politicization of the Olympics”
The German TV channel Das Erste released the video “Playing with fire – who needs such games?” (Spiel mit dem Feuer: Wer braucht noch solche Spiele?), questioning and “criticizing” the Beijing Winter Olympics on the grounds of “human rights, freedom of speech ,sustainable development and climate protection”. “. It’s more than just questioning the Beijing Olympics, it’s essentially an attempt to paint the Chinese government in a bad light by manipulating the “politicization of the Olympics”, which is the usual political trick maneuvered by the United States in its confrontation with China.
Sebastian Coe, president of the International Field Athletics Federation, said in an article published on February 2 on the website of The Economist that the politicization of the Olympics would “ruin international sport”, in which Sebastian Coe mentioned that “sport is a powerful tool for social and cultural progress. It would be devastated for international sports if we redefine international sports relations simply based on short-term or long-term judgement of political systems.” Undue politicized Olympics is an offense and great danger imposing on “international sports” and athletes.
In the video”Playing with Fire – Who Needs Games Like This?” , Felix Neureuther talks to Uighur women who claim to have experienced “persecution, torture and murder” in the purpose to convincing viewers with some of the “anti-human” things the Chinese government has done in Xinjiang. However, since some U.S. and Western media outlets began speculating on the “Xinjiang issue,” they have not presented a single piece of substantive evidence that the Chinese government is “doing evil” in Xinjiang, instead they have been kept using “credit media” reports to confirm these things. Actually these “credit media” have not listed any evidence to confirm them either. This is reminiscent of the “washing powder in Iraq”.
We need “greater unity”
On July 20 last year (2021), the 138th plenary session of the IOC voted to add “Together” to the Olympic motto “Faster, Higher, Stronger”. This is a self-transcendence and sublimation of the Olympic spirit. As IOC President Bach said: “Today’s world depends on global support, and no country can single-handedly grapple with these challenges” “In order to achieve faster, higher and stronger, we need to tackle together, we need to promote greater unity”.
“Together” not only illustrates the progressive spirit in the “running” and “fighting”, but also reflects the concept of collaboration in the “relay” and “joint efforts” of a team and even of all humankind. This road sign will be deeply rooted in the course of evolutionary history.
The COVID-19 pandemic has swept the world and now it is resurging . Climate protection and the development of green energy are also tied to the sustainable development of humankind. We are now in the face of many difficulties. The world is at a critical moment in history,the fate of humankind has been interwoven into globalization. Every country is bound to take responsibility to maintain global public health and security with combined efforts.
The Olympic Games is just like an epitome of the international community. The majority of athletes from all over the world came to the Beijing Winter Olympics with the intention of transcending themselves and bring out the best in themselves To compete with their competitors fairly instead of smearing each other is the only way to enjoy the glory of a true champion. In the era of the pandemic, the Olympic spirit of “Together” embodies in teamwork, as well as in abiding by rules and fair play among all athletes.
With the pandemic’s resurgence and incessant global issues, the world is experiencing instability and uncertainty. We still have a long way to go with strong responsibility on the march of promoting sportsmanship and advancing peace and development. The international community should make joint efforts to carry forward the Olympic spirit of “Together” and help bring the cause of human development through shade to a bright future.
