BEIJING Uomo Nike Air Presto Essential Nere Italia , Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- The West's relentless disparagement of the Sochi Olympics has been all too familiar even prior to its opening on Friday, which was supposed to be a sporting event but suffered identical political finger-pointing as Beijing did six years ago.


The rhetoric was old-fashioned but not unexpected: alleged corruption, overrunning costs and human rights infringements. That is despite opinion polls, notably one by Gallup, produced headlines like "Russians See Gold in Sochi Olympic Games."


China also witnessed overwhelming domestic support for the 2008 Olympics, but no matter Nike Air Presto SE Woven Nere Italia , as Western media bombarded Beijing with negative coverage at the time. The pattern was obvious: play down the consensus and whip up differences when there is ideological or political distance between the West and the Olympic host country.


Granted, the Olympics cannot but put a spotlight on its host, and Sochi is clearly not without headaches. So was Beijing, London, and probably in two years Rio de Janeiro.


However, to magnify troubles under a microscope and pin political tails with a less than glorious agenda is unbefitting for the grand Games. In fact Uomo Nike Air Presto Nere Italia , it appears opportunistic, albeit habitual given the West's track record.


"The Olympics are about building bridges to bring people together," International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach said wisely at the opening ceremony. "They are not about erecting walls to keep people apart. Embrace human diversity and unity."


Such was the spirit Chinese President Xi Jinping carried to Sochi. It is customary for the Chinese people to offer congratulations upon their neighbors' joyous occasions, Xi said.


China firmly supports Russia in holding the Games, not only manifesting China's respect for sportsmanship and the Olympic ideals, but also providing a timely vote of confidence in a close neighbor and friend.


Such principles Donna Nike Air Presto BR Rosa Italia , promulgated in China's "new pattern of relationships between major countries," should apply to other international affairs beyond the Sochi Olympic Games.


In stark contrast, Euro-Atlantic leaders have shied away from appearances at the Olympic spectacle to avoid what would - or would not - be characterized as guilt by association. Apparently, politics rather than humanity was on their minds.


Many, including our friends at The Economist, have stoked the memory of the 1980 Moscow Olympics Off-White x Nike Vapormax Nere Bianche Italia , taking pains to remind the world of the so-called international hostilities evidenced by the absence of a number of heads of state - but not their teams.


The comparison has been revealing. Thirty-four years later, it turns out, Cold-War mentality is alive and well in the West.


Despite the uproar, the Games have now officially kicked off with spectacular music and dance lighting up Sochi.


"Soon enough, attention will turn to the athletes and competition, as it should Off-White x Nike Air Vapormax Bianche Nere Italia ," The Wall Street Journal opined in a Friday editorial after disparaging the event at length. If only it could have turned sooner.

JERUSALEM, Dec. 4 (Xinhua) -- In a welcome move to some and a controversial move to others, U.S. President Donald Trump is reportedly expected to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital later this week.


Any such announcement has inflammatory potential in an already volatile region.


Israel has controlled the western part of Jerusalem since its inception in 1948. In 1967, after the Mideast war, Israel captured the eastern part of Jerusalem from Jordan and declared both parts it's united capital.


The move was never recognized by the international community, including Israel's closest ally Off-White x Nike Air Vapormax Nere Italia , the U.S..


The Palestinians see eastern Jerusalem as the future capital of their state.


Jerusalem is home to all of the Israeli government offices and while foreign embassies are situated in Tel Aviv, dealings with the Israeli government are done largely in Jerusalem, the capital that no one recognizes.


Jerusalem is home to sites holy to Islam, Judaism and Christianity, making it a focal point for many people around the globe.


Now, in what seems to be an attempt to appease both Israel and his constituents on the evangelical right Uomo Off-White x Air Jordan 1 The Ten Bianche Nere Italia , Trump may recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital in order to cushion the blow on an undelivered election promise, transferring the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, another controversial move.


It is still unclear, however, whether the U.S. will make such a move, and if so Uomo Off-White x fragment design x Nike Air Jordan 1 Nere Blu Italia , will it recognize both sides of Jerusalem as Israel's capital? Or just the western side?


"Trump is a friend of Israel and he thinks that recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and recognizing the historic links between the Jews and the city is the right thing to do," Prof. Efraim Inbar, President of the Jerusalem Institute for Strategic Studies, told Xinhua.


Inbar believed Trump will be "ambiguous" about what part of Jerusalem the U.S. will recognize.


"Nobody really disputes Israeli sovereignty over west Jerusalem," Inbar added. While there is a de-facto recognition of western Jerusalem as Israel's capital, this sovereignty remains unrecognized by the whole of the international community.


Up until now Off-White x Nike Air Presto Virgil Abloh Nere Italia , both Israelis and Americans have repeatedly said that the status of Jerusalem needs to be determined in bilateral negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis.


American media has quoted U.S. Defense officials saying a new policy on Jerusalem would endanger American diplomatic missions worldwide, further highlighting how delicate the matter is.


On Sunday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas warned that such a move would jeopardize renewed American efforts to promote a deal between Palestinians and Israelis. These efforts come years after stalemate between the sides and have yet to materialize into anything meaningful or concrete.


The Palestinians have also warned of violence in r.
