Chapter 1069 Huge Investment

The entire topic of the Beijing Olympics lasted for a whole morning.

This shows that the country attaches great importance to the Beijing Olympics.

China has always been particular about not hosting it or hosting it well.

Moreover, the Olympics is the world's largest international sports competition. The whole world will watch it. This is a great opportunity to show China's image and the outstanding achievements made by China in the 30 years of reform and opening up.

Originally, China was going to host the Millennium Olympics, but it lost to Berlin when bidding. In 2004, it was the Centennial Olympics again. China kept its promise to fully support Athens' bid for the Olympics, so it could only bid for the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

This time, Beijing won the bid for the Olympics with an absolutely overwhelming advantage.

According to the materials submitted by Beijing, after supplementation, it is estimated that 320 billion yuan will be invested in Beijing's urban infrastructure construction and Olympic venues construction, equivalent to 80 billion US dollars.

This will set an astonishing investment, that is, the total investment has created history, far exceeding the Berlin Olympics in Germany.

Among them, in terms of Beijing subway, in the next 7 years, multiple railways will be built to form a complete subway system consisting of 27 subways, including 2 modern tram lines, with a total line mileage of 807km, 490 subway stations, and an average daily passenger volume of 12 million.

The next step is to build Daxing International Airport. By 2008, the terminal area of ​​Daxing International Airport reached 780,000 square meters. The civil aviation apron has 223 parking positions, including 76 close parking positions and 147 far parking positions. The airport has 4 operating runways, of which the East 1, North 1 and West 1 runways are 60 meters wide, 3,400 meters long, 3,800 meters long and 3,800 meters long respectively, and the West 2 runway is 3,800 meters long and 45 meters wide, and a 3,800-meter-long military runway is built. Thus, it can meet the demand of 72 million passengers, 2 million tons of cargo and mail, and 620,000 aircraft takeoffs and landings in 2008.

And sufficient land for expansion is reserved.

In the next seven years, Beijing will build a large number of expressways and municipal roads to improve the traffic conditions in Beijing.

As for the new venues for the Olympics, a total of 11 new stadiums will be built, 11 stadiums will be renovated, 9 temporary venues will be built, and a large Olympic Village will be built. The Olympic Village has a construction area of ​​360,000 square meters, mainly including residential buildings, apartments and supporting facilities. It will be used as apartments for athletes and coaches during the Olympics, and will be sold or rented as commercial housing after the Olympics.

Beijing, through fiscal expenditures and debt issuance, bears 50 billion yuan in expenditures, and the national finance bears 250 billion yuan in special funds.

Just after New Year's Day, Liu Tao did not leave Beijing.

Instead, he continued to stay in Beijing.

George Walton led a delegation to visit China. This is his second visit to China since he ascended the throne. The last time was to discuss cooperation during the National Day last year.

This time, it also promoted cooperation and exchanges between the two sides.

On the first day, George and Walton thanked China for its support for the cause of justice, and emphasized that the interests of both sides in this regard are consistent, because this is related to the cause of justice for all mankind, and good cannot prevail over evil.

The atmosphere of the negotiation between the two sides was very friendly, and the attitude of the old Americans was also very low.

If it is said that at the beginning of the year, the old Americans began to frantically test and try to break the situation.

But after September 11, the whole situation changed drastically. Whether it is at home or abroad, the United States is destined to focus on Afghanistan.

If the US military power is not fiercely demonstrated and the people behind the scenes are eradicated, then the United States will have to be worried in the future, and everyone will think of engaging in "unrestricted warfare" on the US mainland?

Moreover, this is also to show the strength of the United States, let everyone see that the United States is still the superpower, and maintain the image and interests of the United States.

Otherwise, wouldn't other countries look down on the United States? If you don't fight back when you are bullied, it's strange that you can be respected.

As for the United States, there has been no war in the United States for so many years. Whether it was World War I or World War II, the United States watched the wind and clouds across the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, and made a fortune from the war. The war did not burn to the United States, making the United States the safest place in the world. After World War II, all the wars were launched by the United States on the territory of other countries, and the wars were all burned on the territory of other countries, not on the United States.

This time, the "unrestricted war" caused heavy casualties and huge damage to the United States, resulting in direct economic losses of more than 3 trillion US dollars. The wealth evaporated from the US stock market is incalculable. The US government's rescue of the market has not allowed the US stock market to bottom out and rebound, but continued to fall.

The American people will never agree to not punish the culprit.

No country will agree to this, let alone the martial Americans.

In the end, the exchanges between the two sides have achieved fruitful results and reached consensus in many aspects.

China imports 300 Boeing aircraft and 50 million tons of non-GMO soybeans from the United States every year. It can be said that George Wharton left China with a generous order this time.

Of course, China also got what it wanted.

China imports a large amount of grain every year, about 20 million tons of rice a year, mainly from Southeast Asia, and the United States, Brazil, and Argentina also account for a part.

China imports about 30 million tons of corn every year, mainly concentrated in a few countries such as the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Ukraine, etc., and the United States accounts for more than 80%. After this increase, China's corn imports from the United States will account for 90% of China's annual imports.

Then there are soybeans. China imports about 100 million tons of soybeans every year. The import sources are the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Ukraine, and Russia. Among them, soybeans from the United States, Brazil, and Argentina are the largest, especially soybeans from the United States account for more than 50%.

The United States has canceled some of its original measures and opened some barriers.

As for the United States' hope that China will transport a batch of gold to New York as a gold reserve, it was sternly rejected.

What a joke, the United States is issuing treasury bonds and over-printing dollars. Maybe one day the dollar system will not be able to play. Who knows whether the gold of various countries in the United States has been secretly sold, or whether it can be shipped out of the United States in the future.

Gangsters are not scary, what is scary is that gangsters have extremely strong military force.

If the old Americans act like gangsters, most countries in the world will have no way to deal with them, no way at all.

Besides, in China, the proportion of RMB in international settlement is increasing, and the RMB currency settlement system is already very complete.

The US dollar is constantly overprinted, and US debt is now being issued in large quantities, making it difficult for China to appropriately lower the RMB exchange rate.

As for the printed RMB, it circulates quickly in the market.

China does not have a large amount of US dollar and euro reserves now. The US dollar and the euro only account for a small proportion of China's foreign exchange reserves.

As for China's gold reserves, they have reached 3,980 tons unknowingly over the years.

As for the gold in the Chinese people, it will only be more, not less.
