Chinese President Xi Jinping on Friday told International Olympic Committee chief Thomas Bach that his country will support the holding of this summer s Tokyo Games, as the novel coronavirus outbreak has shown few sign of easing soon in Japan.
The official Xinhua news agency also quoted Xi as saying during a telephone conversation with Bach that China is confident in hosting the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics next year on schedule despite the pandemic.
Xi s remarks came as calls are mounting both at home and abroad for the Tokyo Games to be postponed or cancelled amid the virus spread, while China has been facing Olympic boycotts by democratic nations condemning its alleged human rights violations.
Yuan Keqin had been out of contact since June 2019 after he returned to China in May that year. The Chinese ministry said in March last year that he was detained.
