Hi everyone. I’m Stephanie LI.

大家好，我是主持人李莹亮。

Coming up on today’s program.

重点提要 

• With only 22 days to the “big day”， Beijing promises to host "green" Olympics, while making sure recent Covid outbreaks would not affect the games;

• China aims to boost digital economy to 10 percent of its GDP by 2025.

Here’s what you need to know about China in the past 24 hours 

中国经济要闻

China promised to hold a green and sustainable Winter Olympics  as the country pushes for its “30-60” carbon peak and neutrality goals, a press conference on the latest progress of the Beijing 2022 Games sustainability plan said on Thursday, announcing the release of a pre-games sustainability report. 

The Beijing Winter Olympics has strictly implemented low-carbon management, with all venues meeting green building standards and powered by renewable energy, director of Beijing 2022's general planning department said. Meanwhile, organisers of the games will build a low-carbon transportation system and carry out carbon offsets, and the Winter Olympics will be carbon neutral.

The preparations for the games have accelerated the environmental protection efforts of the host cities, which led to significant improvement of the air quality in Beijing and Zhangjiakou from 2015 to 2021, according to the report. The 2022 Games has also boosted the economic development of the two cities.

With just 22 days left until the event, the recent Omicron outbreak in Beijing’s neighbouring Tianjin has mounted to its pandemic control pressure. Tianjin reported another 41 infections yesterday, and travel from Tianjin to Beijing has been restricted. Barricades have been set up on highways to Beijing and the sale of train tickets from Tianjin to Beijing has been halted.

Olympic officials and volunteers has entered a “closed loop” last week, which is designed to seal off participants from any outbreak in the outside world and contain any cases among Olympic personnel.

进入最后倒计时22天，北京冬奥组委发布了可持续发展报告。

国务院新闻办公室于1月13日上午举行新闻发布会，介绍北京冬奥会和冬残奥会绿色冬奥和可持续发展工作情况，并宣布北京冬奥组委发布了《可持续·向未来——北京冬奥会可持续发展报告（赛前）》，总结了冬奥筹办中可持续工作的阶段性进展。

北京冬奥会将全面实现碳中和。北京冬奥组委总体策划部部长李森在发布会上说，冬奥会严格实施低碳管理，建设低碳场馆，所有场馆都达到了绿色建筑标准；构建低碳交通体系，并在此基础上积极拓展碳补偿渠道。通过这些措施，北京冬奥会将全面实现碳中和。

打造生态赛区，促进城市和区域发展。北京冬奥会针对雪上项目主要分布在山区的情况，采取措施从设计源头减少对环境的影响，守护了赛区的青山绿水，实现了“山林场馆、生态冬奥”的目标。此外，冬奥筹办对北京、张家口两地发展都起到了积极促进作用。如张高铁、京礼高速建成通车，路网体系更加完善，实现了交通设施相联相通；两地协同治沙、治水、治气，区域环境明显改善，实现了区域环境联防联治。

筹办成果惠及人民群众。6年多来，借助冬奥会带来的发展机遇，人民生活更便利，发展机会更充裕，群众幸福感、获得感不断增加，冰雪运动普及发展带动全民健身，塑造健康生活方式。

另一方面，距冬奥会仅剩22天，临近的天津正面临新一轮新冠疫情。从1月9日起，天津至北京火车票暂时停售，此后多个高速入口关闭。此外，根据冬奥《防疫手册》要求，赛事将严格进行闭环管理。北京冬奥会和冬残奥会主媒体中心在4日至22日进入赛时闭环管理试运行阶段，北京冬奥组委表示，中国局部地区近期也有奥密克戎毒株传播，从1月4日启动的闭环管理情况看，总体情况可控。

世界卫生组织卫生紧急项目执行主任迈克尔·瑞安日前表示，当前状况下新冠病毒传播风险并不会增加，因为中方采取的预防措施一直“非常严格、有力”。
