---Causes, Forms, Tendencies and Countermeasures
by BI Yantao, China
The politicization of Olympics was prematured in the international community when Beijing decided on its Olympic bid, which justifies my assumption that the depoliticization of Olympics is nothing but an ideal. The politicization of Beijing Olympics is an outburst of the international community’s uncertainty about China, an evolved form of international struggle, and a warning about China’s diplomatic doctrine. As Beijing Olympics approaches, the collaboration between the globalized political society and the globalized civil society will be further elaborated and professionalized. Understandably, the external pressure on Beijing Olympics will be increased. In addition to its diplomatic endeavors, to turn to professionals and public diplomacy seems primary now for Beijing.
