Foreign media comment:
The Winter Olympics witness the strength of China's scientific and technological innovation
The Spanish "World Order" website published an article titled "Beijing's Technology Olympics" on February 8, saying that China has grown into the headquarters of some of the world's leading technology companies. If Beijing has demonstrated its construction capabilities through advanced infrastructure before, this time, Beijing has proved its technological superiority with the help of the Winter Olympics. From driverless cars to a digital yuan, the Asian giant is going to great lengths to show progress.
In order to verify its international appeal, China announced to offer financial services, including digital renminbi payments, to athletes and spectators, the article said. This experience is the first for many foreigners. This Winter Olympics has become a test of the internationalization of China's digital renminbi.
The article also said that the Winter Olympics will not only allow China to prove that it has become a technological powerhouse, but also a good opportunity to showcase its innovative achievements in sustainable development and combating climate change. Zhangjiakou, one of the Winter Olympics competition areas, has built a wind farm. China has also invested more than 700 hydrogen fuel buses in the Yanqing and Zhangjiakou competition areas to provide transportation service guarantees.
In addition, in order to demonstrate China's innovative capabilities in emerging technologies, this Winter Olympics is the first large-scale application of carbon dioxide transcritical direct cooling ice-making technology, which can improve energy efficiency by about 30%, the article said.
The article points out that China hopes to demonstrate its technological prowess in a sustainable modern Olympic Games, so it is likely to use this opportunity to test its most promising innovations. China has become a more assertive country and more ambitious to promote its unique model of technological governance.
According to a report by Buenos Aires Economic News Network in Argentina on February 7, with the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a smart competition also kicked off, and related technical achievements even entered the restaurant kitchen. The robot can not only remind people to wear masks, but also provide coffee and food.
The report noted that at the Wukesong Sports Center in Beijing, several robots walked freely through the venue and sprayed disinfectant on the floor. Each robot could complete a disinfection task of 36 square meters in one minute. There is a robot that uses ultraviolet light to sanitize confined areas. There are also robots that can walk up to people who are not wearing masks and remind them to wear them.
According to the report, a cup of "smart" coffee during the game is also a beautiful thing. The Winter Olympics are equipped with coffee robots. They can be used to make coffee with a coffee machine, and the movements are not inferior to professional baristas.
The report pointed out that in order to reduce human contact as much as possible, in the Wukesong Sports Center, various packages including food can be delivered by logistics robots.
According to reports, in the main media center of the Winter Olympics, reporters have already experienced the food prepared and distributed by robots. The move is aimed at maintaining a safe social distance and avoiding the spread of the virus as much as possible. Robot "chefs" can skillfully cook all kinds of food. Robots can also bring food to the table for people to enjoy.
In addition, according to a report on the website of Canada's Globe and Mail on February 7, Visa has been sponsoring the Olympic Games for many years to ensure that its brand identity can be found in competition venues and other locations. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, though, contenders emerged. In addition to the logo of the Visa credit card, the digital RMB logo can also be seen.
