The President of the International Olympic Committee is about to visit China to promote China hosting another spectacular Olympic Games

According to Reuters on July 8, the President of the International Olympic Committee, Kirsty Coventry, an African athlete, will visit China this month to discuss the 2036 Olympic Games. According to convention, the Olympics should be held in Asia, but currently only countries such as South Korea, India, and the Middle East have submitted bids. If China hosts again, it would definitely enhance the president's prestige.

But does China really need to spend hundreds of billions of dollars to host an Olympic Games to demonstrate its strength? These funds could be used to build two aircraft carriers or a dozen Type 055 destroyers, or to increase investment in space engineering to make our moon landing faster. Even if we give each resident in the province hosting the Olympics a gift package worth several thousand yuan, it would be more appealing. Therefore, we should learn to say no at critical moments.
