Challenge and opportunity is what characterizes the privilege of China hosting the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. China's rapid economic development, with GDP growing at more than 11% per year, has generated a widespread concern about the environmental suggestions for China and the world, both within China and throughout the international community. In response, the Government of China has introduced a growing number of environmental initiatives and legislation designed to promote environmental sustainability as part of the country's ambitious growth strategy. With world attention increasingly on China, the staging of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing has given China an opportunity to display its commitment and ability to grow in an environmentally sustainable manner.
The challenge, unfortunately lies in the fact that Beijing's successful bid not only raised the city's profile internationally, but highlighted a number of environmental issues, not to mention the city's poor air quality. This issue is still in progress of being demolished today.
