Next, I will mainly talk about economic and political aspects.

(1) Economic aspects

1.200 1 China's successful bid for the Olympic Games has greatly inspired the spirit of the people of China, and it is also the first year of China's 10th Five-Year Plan. Since 200 1, China's economy has shaken off the influence of the Southeast Asian financial crisis in the late 1990s and entered a new growth track driven by China's entry into WTO, domestic investment and the Olympic craze. In 2002, the growth rate of GDP jumped from 8.3% in the previous year to 9. 1%, which laid a solid foundation for the "golden five years". And in this round of economic growth cycle, the quality of economic growth has been significantly improved, and many economic and development achievements have benefited the people.

2. Driven by the Olympic Games, the great potential of Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan began to appear. Thanks to the Olympic Games, the national resources are concentrated in Beijing, and the transportation infrastructure in this area and its surrounding areas has been greatly improved, and the cities in the economic circle have developed along the transportation axis. At present, Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan are closely linked by Beijing-Harbin, beijing-shanghai railway, Beijing-Shenyang, Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan, Tangjin Expressway and National Highway 205. According to the further planning, after the completion of the intercity high-speed transportation system, the major cities of Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan will form a 30-minute economic circle. It is reported that the Beijing-Tianjin Intercity Railway, the first high-speed railway in China with a speed of over 350 kilometers per hour, will be put into operation on August 1 day, and it will only take about 25 minutes from Beijing to Tianjin. The construction of regional traffic circle and the development of a large number of related industries driven by the Olympic Games provide a rare opportunity for the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan economic circle. The half-hour economic circle and pedestrian circle formed by these three regions have important strategic significance, which is helpful to build a regional integration community, promote the cooperation and exchange of commerce, talents and science and technology between Beijing, Tianjin and Tangshan, and optimize the allocation of regional production factors.

3. Beijing's thriving economy

According to the budget of Beijing's Olympic bid report and the data of Beijing's Tenth Five-Year Plan, the total investment of the Olympic Games will reach 280 billion yuan, including 654.38+080 billion yuan for urban infrastructure construction, and 90 billion yuan for subway, light rail, expressway and airport construction. 45 billion yuan for environmental governance; 30 billion yuan for information construction; The remaining 654.38+0.5 billion yuan was used for the construction and renovation of living facilities such as water, electricity and heat. These Olympic investments have promoted the rapid economic and social development of Beijing.

During the "Olympic investment peak period" from 2005 to 2007, Beijing's GDP increased significantly, with an average annual growth rate of 12.3%, among which the GDP driven by the 2007 Olympic Games increased the most. Relevant reports predict that the GDP growth rate driven by the Olympic economy in Beijing will reach 1. 14% in 2007, 0.85% in 2008, and the total GDP of Beijing will reach 982 billion yuan in 2008.

(2) Political aspects

1, the influence of the Olympic Games on China's politics

China has been in power for the longest time in the world, and China's economy has been in the forefront of the world for many years. These two political and economic factors make China win the right to host the Olympic Games because of its comprehensive strength. The influence of the Olympic Games on China's politics is as follows:

First, improve China's position in the international community and promote national rejuvenation. The hosting of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games means that China has won the universal respect, trust and favor of the international community, which fully demonstrates the recognition of China's development and progress by all countries in the world.

Second, enhance the self-confidence and national cohesion of the Chinese nation. The hosting of the Beijing Olympic Games will carry forward the national spirit that has been buried in the hearts of the Chinese nation for a long time, and will also become a great spiritual force to promote the social development of China.

Third, bring a "spiritual baptism" to Chinese people around the world. It has greatly inspired the hearts of Chinese people around the world, inspired national pride and strengthened the love of overseas Chinese for the motherland.

Fourth, improve the quality of the people and promote social stability. The national problems that have been presented in China for decades, such as irregularity and low quality, not only exist seriously in China, but also attract more and more attention and discussion abroad with the popular travel of tourists. With the enhancement of international status and economic status, the overall level of people in China and China needs to be greatly improved, which has increasingly become a national consensus. At the same time, if the Olympic Games are successfully held, it will help to calm people's hearts, ease contradictions, divert attention, and also help our people to enhance national and national pride and increase national centripetal force.
