President Xi Jinping praised the Chinese Olympic delegation for their impressive performance at the Paris Olympics, where they secured 40 gold medals and a total of 91 medals, matching the United States in golds. He lauded the athletes for their exemplary discipline and adherence to high standards of 'morality, style, and cleanliness,' particularly in light of scrutiny over doping issues within the Chinese swim team. Xi emphasized that the athletes' achievements reflect not only their hard work but also the broader strength of China as a nation. Amid ongoing doping controversies, including past incidents involving swimmers, the Chinese anti-doping agency has criticized perceived double standards from the U.S. anti-doping authorities. Xi's comments also addressed the need for improved fan culture, following incidents of social media harassment directed at Olympians. He encouraged the athletes to continue striving for excellence and to enhance China's position as a global sports powerhouse.
