On the evening of July 13, 2001, when Beijing achieved the successful bid for the 2008 Olympic Games, the immediate spread of revelry conveyed the ecstasy and best wishes of all Chinese people to the great success. According to the previous poll, nearly l00 percent of the Chinese people were in favor of Beijing's second bid for the Olympics. The figure was much higher than those in other bid cities. It is known to all of the world that all Chinese people support and look forward to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. However, we will see what on earth the Olympics can bring to the city of Beijing and China little by little as time passes by. To the best of our knowledge, the Games will bring about significant influence on China's politics, economics, culture and other fields, and it will also help in Beijing's infrastructure and its citizens' life.
       The joy and excitement from the bottom of the hearts of the people is a great spiritual wealth. Under the flag of the Olympics, the Chinese nation will form the unprecedented togetherness. And inspired by the consecutive good news of the 80th anniversary of the Communist Party of China, China's entry to the World Trade Organization and the successful bid for the 2008 Olympics, the whole country will stand more united and work harder for the common goal.
In addition, the successful bid will further increase the national recognition and strongly promote the country's reunification. During the voting process, the International Olympic Committee members from Chinese Taipei stood by China with no spares. And the people in Taiwan expressed as much happiness as the mainland people did after the big win. It is clear that a strong country and a prosperous nation are the best support for country's reunification and the strongest strike on national separatism.
The great victory will further enhance China's position in the world, making more influence on the political and economic order and structure of the world. Though China did not pose again the slogan "a chance to Beijing, a miracle for the world," Beijing will surely create a miracle in seven years, which means not only the best Olympic Games ever but also a more open, modern and civilized China with great contribution and influence to the world. The Olympic success will strongly promote the improvement in many fields such as legality, economy and culture. China's open-up and reform, the efficient exchanges with foreign countries and a successful Olympic Games all base on the sound and standard legal and economic order, which is a huge wealth for China and the rest of the world.
       Besides, it will provide a precious opportunity to China's economic construction and Beijing's development. The enormous business opportunities from the Games can trigger the economic development in China and even Asia. China, with huge potentials, will become a magnet drawing the attention and the wealth of the world, an opportunity and momentum for China's second take-off. For the Beijingers, the successful bid brings them a more beautiful city, numerous new chances, large amount of wealth and envy from around the world..
