BEIJING Mike Adams Panthers Jersey , Nov. 5 (Xinhua) -- Yang Yang (A), the current IOC member and China's former short track speed skating Olympic champion, said Tuesday that bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympics is a good chance for China to boost its winter sports.


The Chinese Olympic Committee (COC) announced Tuesday that Beijing, the 2008 Summer Games host city, will bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics with another northern city of Zhangjiakou being a co-host.


"The news is not so surprising to me, as I heard the discussion about it before. No matter win or lose, it's a good opportunity for China to develop its winter sports," Yang Yang (A) told Xinhua.


As a two-time Olympic champion from 2002 Winter Olympics and a five-time Overall World Champion for 1998-2002, Yang Yang (A) has become an idol of China's winter sports. Her victory in the women's 500m short track at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics made her China's first-ever Winter Olympics gold medalist.


From then on, China made progress step by step in the winter sports, and has showcased some power in speed skating, figure skating and women's curling so far. However, there is still a long way to go in the ski events and ice hockey.


"I think the bid itself is a very good first step. We can improve ourselves in the procedure and the whole world will know more about us," she noted.


"The world won't doubt our ability (to host the Games). Beijing has experience in hosting the games in such a level, and after the 2008 Summer Olympics, all IOC members are familiar with Beijing," she said.


On the Beijing-Zhangjiakou co-hosting plan, she said, "Geographically, the two cities can make up for each other to meet the qualification."


In the COC's plan, Beijing is expected to stage the ice events while Zhangjiakou, a city in Hebei Province located almost 200km northwest to Beijing, holds snow sports.


An inter-city express railway is to be built between Beijing and Zhangjiakou. It will take about 40 minutes to travel from Beijing to Zhangjiakou once the railway is in use.


"In my memory, almost no city can win the bid in its first try. But we will try our best to approach it. China has robust development momentum. Then the key point is who will be our rivals," she said.


So far, Kazakhstan's Almaty and Ukraine's Lviv have also decided to bid for hosting the 2022 Games. Other potential contenders include Norway's Oslu, Germany's Munich, and a joint bid from Poland and Slovakia.


Nov. 14 is the deadline for submission of bids to the International Olympic Committee (IOC).


The IOC will finalize the candidate list in July, 2014 and select the 2022 host in July, 2015.

Consensus rift causing public discontentPolls conducted by Taiwan media show that around half of respondents are dissatisfied with Tsai Ing-wen's first 100 days in office and mainland experts said that Tsai's failure to recognize the 1992 Consensus and her "foreign policies" have added to discontent.

According to a poll released by Taiwan-based think tank the Taiwan Style Foundation, 41.2 percent of respondents said they were dissatisfied with Tsai's performance, while the figure in a poll conducted by Taiwan-based Apple Daily was 50.49 percent.

In response to the newest polls, "Presidential Office" spokesman Alex Huang said the office will refer to the survey results and promised that the new "government" would do what it can to respond to the people's expectations, China Post reported.

In an interview with SET News, Tsai said that the administration is "experiencing adjustments and something is different from the 'election' period," and she regards the drop of support as "ok and normal."

No apology

Jin Yi, an expert at the Institute of Taiwan Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times that 100 days may be too short to evaluate political performance but are enough to reveal Tsai's governing style, which may cause Taiwan to decline.

According to a July Washington Post interview, when asked whether President Xi Jinping has a certain deadline by which he wants Tsai to agree to the 1992 Consensus, Tsai responded, "It isn't likely that the government of Taiwan will accept a deadline for conditions that are against the will of the people."

Tsai's remarks were believed by experts to be a rejection of the 1992 Consensus, with Ma Xiaoguang, spokesperson for the State Council's Taiwan Affairs Office, telling the media in July that "only by sticking to the 1992 Consensus and its core meaning - that both sides of the Taiwan Straits belong to one and the same China - can the two sides ensure the peaceful and stable development of cross-Straits ties."

Jin said Tsai has disappointed many people by failing to fulfill her promise to maintain cross-Straits relations, which has contributed in a decline in numbers of mainland tourists heading to the island, damaging the tourism and catering industry in Taiwan.

Some 300,000 mainland tourists visited Taiwan in July, down 15 percent from the same period last year. Mainland tourists makes up 40 percent of the number of tourists who visit the island every year, the Straits Times reported.

Yang Lixian, deputy secretary-general of the National Society of Taiwan Studies in Beijing, told the Global Times on Friday that Tsai has evaded questions on cross-Straits ties, leading to the suspension of a variety of communication mechanisms.

Tsai's recent moves, including offering no apology to mainland tourists who were killed in a bus accident, reveal her pro-independence views, Yang added.

Twenty-three tourists and a tour guide from the Chinese mainland were killed in July when their tour bus crashed into a barrier on a highway and caught fire near Taiwan's Taoyuan Airport. Some mainlanders were angered when Tsai did not respond to the deaths of the mainland tourists but dedicated a.
