Beijing' Mayor Wang Anshun said that the "IOC has recognised the work we have put into this bid, while giving us a positive evaluation."

According to the Mayor, a five-year clean-air action plan for Beijing is already reducing pollution by targeting major pollution sources.
While only less than two months remain until the IOC chooses the host city for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games during its 128th session in Kuala Lumpur on July 31, Wang told Xinhua that "we will carefully study the feedback that we received from IOC, and further refine our plans and preparations in all respects in order to assure that we are in the best possible position."
The vice Chairman of Almaty 2022 bid Andrey Kryukov told reporters that the city' s plan is to "fit the Olympic Games into our city" and as the country' s cultural and economic capital

He also stressed the committee' s pragmatic approach, stating that "we' re not jumping to the future, we are going forward step by step."
According to Almaty committee members

"Our economy is stable and strong," said Kryukov, who also mentioned the country' s experience of hosting the Asian Winter Games in 2011.
The city' s mayor Akhmetzhan Yessimov confirmed that "we have guaranteed what we need to guarantee" and that time will tell whether the Central Asian country has done enough to clinch the 2022 Winter Games.
MOSCOW, March 9 (Xinhua) -- Russian Skating Union (RSU) intended to prove the innocence of its athletes charged with deliberate violation of anti-doping rules.
"Currently we have a situation in which the leaders of our national teams have been charged with taking a drug they surely did not use deliberately
Chaussures Nike Air Max Tavas Femme Grise Pas Cher ," said head of the RSU Aleksey Kravtsov.
"Our task is to make the ISU (International Skating Union) certain they did not do that on purpose and to persuade it to excuse our athletes. As for what motivated the people who did it, jealousy or money, is a secondary question," Tass news agency quoted Kravtsov as saying.
Recently several Russian skaters have been found using meldonium
Chaussures Homme Nike Air Max 95 KPU Blanche Pas Cher , a drug used to treat diabetes and low magnesium, also known as mildronate, which was prohibited by World Anti-Doping Agency on Jan. 1 of this year.
Kravtsov said that the RSU would apply to the ISU that meldonium was deliberately included for usage of certain athletes to discredit them.
"We must identify these criminals. We have certain information about this issue, but we cannot disclose it yet
Chaussures Femme Nike Air Max 95 Rose Pas Cher ," Kravtsov said.
He added that the RSU intended to check those athletes' teammates, warning that "guilty persons will be suspended from sport for life".
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier on Wednesday said Russia will thoroughly investigate doping cases of Russian athletes.
Peskov meanwhile warned that "unacceptable and inexcusable" attempts to politicize sports would destruct international sports.

BEIJING, July 14 (Xinhua) -- Chinese online travel agency Tuniu is taking on rivals Ctrip and Qunar for a bigger share of the country's online tourism market by expanding its services to flight and hotel bookings.
Over the past ten years, Nanjing-based Tuniu has focused on providing leisure travel services, which include helping travelers book tickets to tourist sites, local transportation, package tours and itineraries at destinations both in China and abroad.
Online travel agencies like Tuniu have boomed with the growth of China's middle class. According to research firm Analysys, Tuniu was ranked as the second largest online leisure service provider in 2015. The company had a market share of 23.1 percent, slightly lower than the 24.6 percent held by Ctrip, according to Analysys.
Having closed the gap with Ctrip in leisure travel, Tuniu has become more outspoken about its ambitions to enter the airfare and hotel booking business, which have earned rivals Ctrip and Qunar their dominance in the market today.
Tuniu co-founder Donald Yu said at a press conference this week that its expansion into flight and hotel reservations will help better serve customers who have booked other travel services through Tuniu.
Tuniu's inroads into services dominated by bigger rivals also come as China's biggest airlines try to sell more tickets directly, rather than paying a commission fee for sales through web services.
Last year, China's state assets regulator mandated that the country's three state-owned airlines raise their share of direct ticket sales to 50 percent in the next three years, compared with less than 30 percent currently. The regulator also ordered commission fees paid to agencies to be halved from 2014 levels. These changes are set to hurt online tr.
