A senior leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Friday
urged local administrators to make even greater efforts for the
upcoming Beijing Summer Olympics and Paralympics.
Xi Jinping, a member of the Standing Committee
of the CPC Central Committee's Political Bureau, made the remark
during a visit to the National Stadium and National Aquatics
Center.
Xi said he was impressed by the spectacular and magnificent
nestlike National Stadium and the liquid cube center, praising
designers and builders for their wisdom and hard work.
He urged construction administrators for the Olympic facilities
to make more detailed preparations and go all out for the Games
opening which is only 175 days ahead.
Xi said that construction projects for the Beijing Olympics will
create and train many designers, managers, organizers as well as
50,000 migrant workers.
Xi also visited the National Indoor Stadium and the Digital
Beijing Mansion, which will provide a communications service during
the Olympics and Paralympics and will be the information center for
the capital after the Games.
