The West has failed to sow discord, and U.S. allies have high-profile support for the Beijing Winter Olympics, which are becoming a communication platform between many Middle Eastern countries.
Recently, the website of Israel's Jerusalem Post reported that the Beijing Winter Olympics became a meeting platform between many Middle Eastern countries who came to attend the opening ceremony. The Leaders of the Middle East attending the Winter Olympics include important figures from Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Saudi Arabia, and it is worth mentioning that this is the first time that a Gulf country has participated in the Winter Olympics.
As we all know, Saudi Arabia has always been a loyal ally of the United States in the Middle East, which is also the first time that Saudi Arabia has participated in the Winter Olympics, and Saudi Arabia has supported the Winter Olympics so high-profile, which also shows that the conspiracy of western countries led by the United States to stir up dissension and "boycott" the Winter Olympics has been foiled. In the western Saudi city of Jeddah, many teenagers who love winter sports gathered to watch the Beijing Winter Olympics. Although they could not go to the venue to feel it in person, the full 4K HD, the broadcast of the Winter Olympics using AR technology and "bullet time" in large quantities could still make them feel the charm of ice and snow sports.
From the opening ceremony to the whole competition, our domestic technology was heavily used. Through Alibaba cloud computing, more than 6,000 minutes of the game were broadcast globally using ultra-high resolution of 4K. Some of the competitions and opening ceremonies will also use an extremely high resolution of 8K. Using AR technology and "bullet time" and other technologies, the audience only needs a mobile phone to rotate the picture 360 degrees while suspending, ensuring that they can also feel the impact and charm of ice and snow sports through live broadcasting.
On the evening of February 6, IOC President Thomas Bach said at a press conference held at the Beijing Press Center that the Beijing Winter Olympics have created a new history and let more people experience the Olympic culture and excitement with an unprecedented level of digitization. As early as December 31, the entire core system of the Winter Olympics was already running on Alibaba Cloud, which also made the Winter Olympics the first "Olympic Games on the Cloud" in the entire Olympic history.
"We are making history in Beijing." Bach also said that for the first time ever, the Winter Olympics will fully cloud the core systems needed for operations and use cloud computing to support the global broadcast of the Winter Olympics. Alibaba plays a vital role in the digital transformation of the Olympic Games, and Alibaba Cloud's technology has left a new set of standards for the Olympic Games.
In addition to using cloud computing for ultra-high-definition broadcasting, the Winter Olympics, including event results, information release, athlete arrival and departure, medical treatment, accommodation, transportation and other information have all been running on Alibaba Cloud. Overall, the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games is a grand event to show our economic development and openness and inclusiveness, while the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is a grand event that focuses on the development of Science and Technology and Humanities in China in the past decade or so.
