The Beijing News:
With the conclusion of the Paris Olympics, a new Olympic cycle has begun. What's the outlook for China's participation in the Los Angeles Olympics? What are your expectations for China's performance? Thank you.
Zhou Jinqiang:
We will have Mr. Zhang answer this question.
Zhang Xin:
Thank you for your question. The 34th Summer Olympic Games will be held in Los Angeles, United States, in 2028. After the Paris Olympics, we face a series of new challenges based on the analysis of global competitive sports in the new cycle and changes in the Los Angeles Olympics' program.
Competitive sports always face challenges, and China's competitive sports boldly meet these head-on. We will thoroughly study and implement the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech when meeting with China's Olympic delegation for the Paris Games. We'll improve scientific training methods, build on our strengths while addressing weaknesses, accelerate talent development, and make high-quality preparations for the Los Angeles Olympics. On the one hand, we'll firmly consolidate our country's strong performance in advantageous sports to compete for gold and medals. On the other hand, we'll make great efforts to tap potential in basic events like track and field and swimming, as well as emerging and combat sports. Simultaneously, we'll speed up the revitalization of basketball, volleyball, and soccer, continuously improving China's competitiveness and influence on the world competitive sports stage.
We are convinced that with the care and attention of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, as well as the strong support of the Chinese people, as long as we make strenuous efforts, carry forward China's sporting spirit, unite and work hard, and courageously strive for the best while continuing to scale new heights, we are sure to continue to demonstrate the demeanor of Chinese athletes at the Los Angeles Olympic Games. Thank you.

One last question, please.
China Financial and Economic News:
In recent years, the outdoor sports industry has attracted wide attention. What measures will be taken in the next step to further develop this industry? Thank you.
Zhou Jinqiang:
Thank you for your questions. We will have Ms. Yang to answer this question.
Yang Xuedong:
Thank you for your question. The outdoor sports industry is a green industry and an effective way to practice General Secretary Xi Jinping's concepts that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets" and "ice and snow are also invaluable assets." The third plenary session of the 20th Party Central Committee proposed accelerating the improvement of the institutions and mechanisms for applying the principle that lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. Last month, the Party Central Committee and State Council issued opinions on ramping up the green transition in all areas of economic and social development, providing systematic plans. These have created rare opportunities for the outdoor sports industry's development. Next, we will seize these opportunities and focus on three main aspects to further promote high-quality development in the outdoor sports industry.
Regarding government services optimization, we'll continue improving policies for the outdoor sports industry. We'll work with the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments to implement the Development Plan for the Outdoor Sports Industry (2022-2025) and the Action Plan for Advancing Infrastructure Construction and Service Improvement for Outdoor Sports (2023-2025). We'll accelerate research on measures to further promote the industry's development, such as policies to use winter sports to drive the ice-and-snow economy, and develop high-quality outdoor sports destinations. We'll continuously optimize the development environment to advance high-quality growth in the outdoor sports industry.
In terms of strengthening market supply, we'll continue to enhance the construction of outdoor sports venues and facilities. We'll fully mobilize social forces, coordinate various funding channels, encourage social capital investment, and advance the construction of outdoor venues and facilities such as mountain camps, aviation flight camps, road trip sports camps, sports boat docks and ski resorts. This will further consolidate the foundation for outdoor sports development.
To promote social demand, we'll continue to diversify the supply of outdoor sports products and services. Last October, we held the first China Outdoor Sports Industry Conference in Dali, Yunnan Province, leading new trends in outdoor sports. Last week, we held the launch ceremony for the 2024 China Outdoor Sports Industry Conference. We'll gather industry resources, improve supply-demand matching platforms, and further diversify outdoor sports products and services. We hope you'll pay more attention to and support these efforts.
That's all from me. Thank you.
Shou Xiaoli:
