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.
Artiklen sagde også, at Vinter-OL ikke kun vil give Kina mulighed for at bevise, at det er blevet et teknologisk kraftcenter, men også en god mulighed for at fremvise sine innovative resultater inden for bæredygtig udvikling og bekæmpelse af klimaændringer. Zhangjiakou, et af vinter-OLs konkurrenceområder, har bygget en vindmøllepark. Kina har også investeret mere end 700 brintbusser i konkurrenceområderne Yanqing og Zhangjiakou for at levere transportservicegarantier.
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 percent , the article said.
Artiklen påpeger, at Kina håber at demonstrere sin teknologiske dygtighed i et bæredygtigt moderne olympiske lege, så det vil sandsynligvis bruge denne lejlighed til at teste sine mest lovende innovationer. Kina er blevet et mere selvsikkert land og mere ambitiøst for at fremme sin unikke model for teknologisk styring.
Ifølge en rapport fra Buenos Aires Economic News Network i Argentina den 7. februar, med åbningen af Vinter-OL i Beijing, startede en smart konkurrence også, og relaterede tekniske præstationer kom endda ind i restaurantkøkkenet. Robotten kan ikke kun minde folk om at bære masker, men også sørge for kaffe og mad.
Rapporten bemærkede, at adskillige robotter i Wukesong Sports Center i Beijing gik frit gennem stedet og sprøjtede desinfektionsmiddel på gulvet. Hver robot kunne udføre en desinfektionsopgave på 36 kvadratmeter på et minut. Der er en robot, der bruger ultraviolet lys til at rense lukkede områder. Der er også robotter, der kan gå hen til folk, der ikke bærer masker, og minde dem om at bære dem.
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.
Rapporten påpegede, at for at reducere menneskelig kontakt så meget som muligt, i Wukesong Sports Center, kan forskellige pakker, inklusive mad, leveres af logistikrobotter.
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.
