| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The first three press conferences included in this issue pertain to the overall construction projects and that of the competition venues. As a whole, they constitute three temporal markers in the construction projects. The first document is the transcript of the press conference on the progress of the Olympic Games related construction projects scheduled on December 20, 2005. Organized by and held at the Olympic Games Main Press Center, the press conference includes an on-site visit of the National Sports Stadium (Bird's Nest) that followed the presentation and question-and-answer session. The pressconference itself features the minister, the deputy commander, and the chief economist of the Beijing 2008 Olympics Project Construction Headquarters. It covers the constructions of competition and noncompetition venues, training facilities, and urban transportation. |
