In his speech, Jiang Xiaoyu said remarkable progress has been made in the
construction of the official website of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
over the last year. After the launch of the new edition, steady increase
has been seen in the number of visitors to the site, which has become a
key window for the broad masses to pay attention to, support and take
part in the Olympics.

The selection campaign was sponsored by the official website of the
Beijing 2008 Olympic Games (www.beijing2008.cn), People's Daily online
(www.people.com.cn), and Xinhuanet (www.xinhuanet.com).

Since its launch on December 17, the campaign has attracted growing
interest and support from Internet users across the country and abroad,
with votes coming from all provinces, autonomous regions and
municipalities, as well as Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR)
and Macao SAR. Votes also came from over 50 countries and regions,
including Australia, Russia, Canada, Indonesia, Singapore, Republic of
Korea, Sri Lanka, Brazil, Norway, Greece, Nepal, and the Bahamas. Up to
December 28, over 300,000 votes have been received.

The selection campaign was supervised by the Internet Affairs Bureau of
the State Council Information Office and BOCOG Media and Communications
