Beijing's bid to host the mystery of the "one vote": Taiwan representative for Beijing canvassing _ Bagua history
At that time, the Australian Olympic Committee President Ke CI admits the spot to the media, in 1993, September 22, Monte Carlo's choice 2000 Olympic host city on the eve of the vote, he had to 7 million u.s. dollars to buy the African members of the two countries; and they were originally Beijing considers two tickets for the "iron." Beijing's bid to host the mystery of the "one vote": Taiwan representative canvassing for Beijing national interests decided to hand in one vote since the 2000 Olympic Games in Beijing hosting decision, Vice President of Chinese Olympic Committee, the International Olympic Committee he zhenliang and Secretary-General, the Deputy Secretary-General Tu Wei jizhong Martin de, in 1993 came to Taipei, and personally to call on, hoping to get my full support. That day he zhenliang came to my Office, Island Media flocked to me and he zhenliang surrounded, they want to know if I will support the Beijing. I know the answer already calculated the sensitivity, the kind of response. I am open to the media to answer is: "I vote in the presence of the two major factors: firstly, to the interests of the Chinese nation and the second is for the Olympic development interests. "Look at that time, the island's political environment sensitive, complex, if direct road from I supported object that is not a wise move, and objective manner I cast the votes of prerequisites, who is dealing with this difficult problem. But privately, I and he zhenliang on entire candidate cities of vote "and the competitive situation has done a fairly complete communication and explanations, I to objective analysis to his overall IOC members ' backgrounds, as well as the possible different voting behavior; and that we should make a different Division of labour, and to try to make a smooth Access 2000 in Beijing Olympics. On the other hand, the Taiwan island but with a high political sensitivity to treat this incident. The island's business leaders to explore Australia business opportunities, and meet with the Prime Minister of Australia; Australian side also actively through the business leaders and politicians, hope that led to the Taiwan authorities to declare their support for the 2000 Olympics in Sydney. Later, I went to Australia meeting, through the Australian people access to important information, it is a letter written by the business leaders to Australia's Prime Minister's letter, the letter content makes obvious sense to the authorities for the Beijing Olympics. Due to the International Olympic Committee, on behalf of the International Olympic Committee, the independent exercise of the rights of members, our vow of which the most important paragraph, that is, "do not accept any political, religious, ethnic and commercial interests to pressure". In other words, I need a ticket to a spirit of conscience, his most loyal ideas for the best judge. Therefore, although I have been aware of the authorities on the matter of attitude, but I insisted to keep 1988 he was elected as a member of the International Olympic Committee, not because of affirmation those wishes. Taiwan authorities in a public statement at the beginning of September: "Beijing Olympics, the Taiwan authorities position that its conditions are not ripe, but voting is determined by the International Olympic Committee Wu jingguo personal decision, it will respect his rights and decision. ”难忘蒙特卡罗决战1993年8月中旬，中国在新疆罗布泊湖进行氢弹试爆。 In late August, Geneva, United Nations Conference on human rights, chaired by the United States, instigated, originated on China's human rights issues. Situation and the situation is clearly not conducive to Beijing. 17 September that year, I went to the 2000 Olympic Games host city of the decisive battle in Monaco Monte-Carlo, attended this year's annual meeting of the International Olympic Committee. At that time, the five candidate cities representatives and leaders gathered in Germany, Chancellor Helmut Kohl, United Kingdom Prime Minister John major, Turkey female Prime Minister Demirel, Australia's Prime Minister, Keating and Chinese Vice Premier Li Lanqing, led a large number of staff present. Each Member of the International Olympic Committee are representatives of the candidate cities and lobbying of siege, want to be able to support it. 23 September, the decisive day has come. The International Olympic Committee in order to prepare for entry other than non-members of strangers, and so on, all you have to leave the venue. Security personnel with precision electronic instrument in meeting the various corners do blanket, carefully search aims to prevent eavesdropping and electronic devices news OTC, to ensure that the electoral process is never compromised. Due to the venue only members present, invoices, tickets, counting, Siegel by members by junior members holdingThe ballot box to members of the receiver. According to the International Olympic Committee, one hundred years of tradition, the votes are in your own handwriting by members will be supported by the city's name written on the blank ballot, and each round of votes color is different for identification. Is false. Finished after a vote of people in a ballot box, and members of the counting for invoicing, counts the votes. But in that year's ballot is from 2000 to electronic voting. Deploring the Beijing two votes election defeat first round Turkey Istanbul to 6 tickets first was eliminated, Germany Berlin in the second round replay, United Kingdom Manchester was eliminated in the third round. In the final round of the battle, the Swaziland national Member suddenly back in urgent need of domestic departure, on the grounds that the presence of 89 members only 88. After the end of the vote, the vote count by hosted Senegal nationality was elected member of the Al worship will write on a piece of the city on the card, and placed in a sealed envelope, to the President Juan Antonio Samaranch. All members in the pre-specified time all step up ring sophisticated protection, collective leaving the bus, to finally announce the result of small gymnasium. In this important moment in the venue, Stadium 5 cities all represent and support the crowd packed. And so everyone settles, the IOC Executive Board, the Vice-Chairman will step on stage, the final appearance of the IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch. He took out from the Pocket, torn envelope sealed envelope. The venue of the silence. When Juan Antonio Samaranch read out "sydney", the 2000 Olympic Games chosen by the Sydney Australia, Sydney audience of hundreds of supporters in his seat and dancing and cheering, singing, cuddling, long outage. The other four cities will compete for the same field of delegates is dejected; especially Beijing supporter, dignified and sad face facial expressions, and Sydney in stark contrast to the high spirits. In fact, I'm in the final round of voting, the heart will have a sinking feeling that Beijing was very likely mashiqianti. In the penultimate round of the defeat of Manchester, not into the summary after the election, his supporters must always backward with the Commonwealth members of Sydney. Sure enough, the last votes are 45 votes than 43 votes, Beijing is only a minor difference between the two votes to defeat. Analysis of the major causes of failure of Beijing, the key is at the end of the election campaign, United States House of representatives passed a resolution on China's human rights issues; interference, great for Beijing. Shortly afterwards, the United Nations Conference on human rights held in Geneva, China human rights once again become the object of attack. These unusual actions, to Beijing's bid to cause great difficulties. Parents charged with "one vote" mystery of Beijing Olympics for the first time already with lapse of many years into the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games bidding, I was in the "one vote" mystery "by the media as a topic of speculation. In fact, after the end of the vote, leaving the witness to history, my special place the ballot paper is written in "BElJING" recorded and later one day care for me this ballot to historians to have the opportunity to review this ballot, which will be based on the handwriting typeface get proof. I remember before departure, the parents shall earnestly told me: "this poll, you must remember you are Chinese. "They have not said to I support of Beijing, but their eyes look, I said to the chest. In addition, selected after a month, receive letters of President he zhenliang, except for my support, more thank you thank me for quite a few votes in Beijing. In addition, in 1999, Salt Lake City Winter Olympics bribery scandal, Australia's Sydney immediately met in 1993 of improper practices in the vote. At that time, the Australian Olympic Committee President Ke CI admits the spot to the media, in 1993, September 22, Monte Carlo's choice 2000 Olympic host city on the eve of the vote, he had to 7 million u.s. dollars to buy the African members of the two countries; and they were originally Beijing considers two tickets for the "iron." The key to the loss of two tickets to Beijing have lost the right to host the Olympic Games. Ke CI in their own words, and finally to my "vote" for the mystery of more explicit instructions. Unity is strength battle of Moscow 13 July 2001, decided to host the 2008 Olympic Games host city of the moment finally arrived. The first is the five candidate cities make balloted order, 41 minutes, anticipated 5 p.m. 3 minute can vote. The first is buckled, Osaka is not high, company opportunities, but in Japan Ministry led by the Minister in person, do a very good update, profile of a Han-young girls with consummateViolin will of the International Olympic Committee. The second game of Paris, although personally by the Prime Minister, NOK Spencer, highlight the leader of the Government of France fully supported, but with the roof. In Canada, the premier leader in third place came the Toronto confidently-out environmental licensing and proud of lakes and mountains, in the hope that highlight the session very "natural" characteristics of the Olympic Games. Toronto in the morning the three cities are dominant in the briefing. When my lunch special and members of the exchange of views, and informed of Asia, Africa and Central America national members have a clear stance will vote for Beijing, and some European members also will support the Beijing. I'm told he zhenliang, Beijing wanted to in the first round of winning chance, because there will be few sympathy votes to Osaka and Istanbul; but the second round when is the best opportunity to win in Beijing, the Mainland must fully grasp the flow. votes In the afternoon of the first stage is Beijing. In Vice Premier Li Lanqing, led, Liu Qi, Mayor of Beijing, the IOC members he zhenliang, Weimin, bid represents a lined, Li Lanqing briefing has repeatedly stressed that the Chinese Government's full support and will fulfil all their obligations, should be to ensure that Beijing will host the most successful Olympic Games. He's quite enough level of English proficiency, access to the International Olympic Committee, was very well received. Liu Qi also fluent English description of the Beijing's bid to host the planning of various projects. Famous TV presenter Yang LAN to a beautiful Chinese cheongsam impressive, her elegant conversation and temperament to Beijing extra points. He zhenliang, then to the fluent French throughout the whole field, especially in the end, his emotional speech touched the heart of Committee members. The last field is the Istanbul, country negotiators show a lack of confidence, the entire presentation is black and white, even better than planned 45 minutes but also the short ends.
