With competition venues tested, operations exercised and COVID-19 countermeasures being developed, Beijing has entered the final 200 days until the Winter Olympics next year and is poised to host safe and successful Games.
Despite challenges caused by the pandemic in areas such as logistics and international exchange, Beijing and co-host Zhangjiakou, Hebei province, are gearing up for the 2022 Winter Olympics smoothly, with organizers busy putting finishing touches on noncompetition facilities while finalizing plans this week for services during the Games.
