Bach, the former chairman of the Olympic Committee, once said that China should promote the spirit of great powers and take initiative.
Bach, the former chairman of the Olympic Committee, once said: China should promote the spirit of the great powers, take the responsibility of initiating the Olympic Games!

Who remembers how brilliantly Bach laughed at the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2015? but ten years later, he "named" China: you should do it again, don't hide!

Once this was said, the global public opinion was excited again — but I didn't think that China this time simply landed back in four words: don't think about it.

This is not "putting on airs", but a sober judgment. Being a big country doesn't mean that you have to "catch the ball" every time!

This "cry" comes from the former IOC chairman Thomas Bach, as an Olympic "old acquaintance" who has just left office, he has openly stated on several occasions:

China should continue to play the "main force" of global sport, more directly speaking, it is hoping that China will again apply for the Olympics, not "retire."

Bach spoke emotionally, saying that China should carry forward the "responsibility of a big country", and then added, "If China doesn't apply, who will come?"

This is not easy to say, but it sounds like a bit of "emotional motivation" meaning, even a little bit of "embedded" smell, but the problem is that the current situation of the International Olympic Committee, really is not by "Chinese sentiment" can be easily resolved.

In the face of Bach's appeal, the response of the Chinese Olympic Committee is quite clear: at present, there is no plan to bid for the Olympic Games, there is no ambiguity, and there is no falsehood. China has not "circled" or played on the occasion.

These four words, not only express attitudes, but also release a signal: China is a great power, but not a "receiver".

Beijing just finished the 2022 Winter Olympics, hardware, organization, and services were full, and foreign media used "almost perfect" to describe it.

But now the international Olympic landscape has changed, the global economy is not in recession, and there are fewer and fewer countries willing to spend money on the Olympics, so someone looks at China: you can do it, come and do it!

But the question arises, why is China taking over this “hot potato”? especially when the global enthusiasm for the Olympics has declined, and even when Paris and Los Angeles are worried about the cost, why does China bear this “responsibility”?

Looking at the world, Zeno has long been no longer a "champagne", before the opening of the 2024 Paris Olympics, continued protests in France, citizens complain about the security and spending of the Olympics;

The same goes for Los Angeles in 2028, with budgets rising again and again, and Americans shouting “cost out of control” while still struggling to move forward.

In 2025, the atmosphere in the international community will become even more tense, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will continue to drag on, the competition between the United States and China will continue to be stalemate, the political situation in Europe will be turbulent, and the U.S. election will be another farce. Against this background, a "global gathering" like the Olympic Games has long lost its former aura.

To be honest, the Olympic "gold sign" is now not only not making money, but instead becomes a typical representative of "wasting money and making drinks".

And the way the IOC operates, is also facing a crisis of trust, excessive commercialization, regional imbalance, project design stiffness ... this bunch of problems, relying on one country to "shake the bottom", is not realistic at all.

China's support for international sport has been seen in recent years, organizing the Olympics, organizing the Asian Games, organizing the Games, from venue construction to volunteer service, from security systems to broadcast technology, almost all are "top-fitted".

But China's position is very clear: it's not anyone who says "a big country takes responsibility", and China has to rush to fill the hole without hesitation.

The IOC is now facing the trouble of its own decades of operating mode, the cost of competition is increasing, the risk of competition is increasing, and people's enthusiasm for the Olympics is declining year after year.

When it comes to Paris, the ticket cannot be sold, the security has become the biggest trouble, Los Angeles, let alone, the project adjustment has caused controversy, and the audience preferences have also changed dramatically.

The IOC is not not unclear about these issues, but they are more willing to find "old friends" to help wipe their ass, China's refusal this time is precisely a rational big country gesture, not blind, not radical, not abducted.

It is worth noting that China is not "far away" from the Olympics. China is still an active participant in international sports in terms of sports development, athlete training and international cooperation.

But China is now more clear that real international participation is not at the forefront every time, but to see the situation clearly and measure.

China has the ability, but not “unconditionally”, China is willing to take responsibility, but not “follow the call”.

Moreover, from a global perspective, China's "no-take-over" is actually calling on the International Olympic Committee to carry out self-reform.

If the Olympics really want to go on, relying on a single country in China is not realistic, and the future of international sport must rely on global joint efforts.

Bach’s “nickname” sounds like a praise, but in fact it was a less ingenious probe, and China’s response, with no rejection and no emotions, but steadily putting the position on the table: the Olympics are not whose “work of duty”, but the global common cause.

The real big country is not in charge of every strike, but in the critical moments to see clearly, stand firmly, and say clearly.China's "no-contain" this time is not a regression, but a rational choice of a higher stage.

Who should host the Olympics, not by the slogan, the future of global sport, requires more countries to stand out, rather than always staring at the "most capable".
