BEIJING OLYMPICS
-- The CPPCC mobilized and organized National Committee members to actively support the Olympics and Paralympics and spared no effort in their service to them. The CPPCC held the forum "Wholeheartedly Welcome the Olympics," during which it made comments and suggestions to optimize preparations and achieve the goal of a green, scientific and people-oriented Olympics.
-- National Committee members supported the games as Olympic volunteers and organizers or in other capacities, in which they did a great deal of excellent work. The CPPCC actively encouraged compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, overseas Chinese, and people of Chinese origin to contribute money to help build Olympic venues and stand up courageously in defense of the Beijing Olympic torch on its international relay.
