Beijing Olympic Winter Games and Paralympic Games

The 24th Olympic Winter Games and the 13th Paralympic Winter Games were held in Beijing from February 4 to 20, 2022, and from March 4 to 13, 2022, respectively. It was Beijing's second hosting of the Olympic Games after the 2008 Summer Olympics. The Beijing 2022 Games were held in three Winter Olympic competition zones, bookended by splendid opening and closing ceremonies. The theme of a global community of shared future flavored the whole process. Chinese cultural elements and ice and snow elements complemented each other to express the beauty of nature, humanity, and sports. Together with Zhangjiakou City, Beijing successfully hosted a simple, safe, and wonderful Olympic Games for the world, fulfilling its solemn commitment to the international community while becoming the world's first city to host both Winter and Summer Olympics.

During the competition, athletes from all over the world demonstrated respect, encouraged each other, and pushed their limits. Throughout the fierce competition, they perfectly captured the Olympic motto of "faster, higher, stronger-together" and the Paralympic values of "courage, determination, inspiration, and equality." The successful hosting of the Beijing Olympic Winter Games and the Paralympic Winter Games promoted exchange and mutual learning among different civilizations, played an important role in promoting global solidarity and cooperation to overcome difficulties, and brought confidence and hope to a volatile world, sending a strong signal for the world to venture "together into the future."
