Chinese Presence at the Paris Olympics and What it Means for Kids

During the on-going Paris Olympics, Chinese-made souvenirs, mascots, and equipment were ubiquitous. On the eve of the opening ceremony, over 1,000 drones from Chinese companies lit up the Paris sky in a spectacular show. More than half of the Paris Olympics broadcasters utilized Alibaba Cloud technology, enhancing the viewing experience. LED screens in various venues were also provided by Chinese companies, along with ping-pong , barbells, and sports flooring, ensuring the smooth running of the events. The streets of Paris were bustling with tourists drawn to the Chinese cultural exhibits.

Outside Olympic venues in Paris this summer, Chinese elements are adding a vibrant touch with tourist buses made in China, a Pop Mart cultural store inside the Louvre, and the debut of China’s first tea shop, Chagee, near the train station.

This showcases the strength of Chinese manufacturing and reflects China’s growing influence on the global stage. As a key carrier of Chinese culture, the importance of the Chinese language is becoming increasingly evident. For non-Chinese children, learning Chinese is not just about acquiring a new language, but also about gaining insight into Chinese culture and integrating into a globalized world.
