At the beginning of the meeting, Professor Qiu analyzed the international situation China is currently facing, pointing out that China is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, and emphasized that China itself is the leader in this changing international situation"Important variables". Professor Qiu then elaborated on his understanding of the great changes unseen in a century - "Great changes are the organic unity of 'change' and 'unchanged'. They are not destined to be good, but are changes that present both challenges and opportunities." The COVID-19 epidemic, as a "catalyst", has not only changed people's lifestyles, but also profoundly affected the international situation under the rise of China.

Subsequently, the perspective shifted from the international situation to China’s own diplomatic status. Professor Qiu mentioned that inBefore the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China rarely held international diplomatic events. However, in recent years, with the continuous development of China's economy, China has held more and more home diplomatic events, and they have continued to grow in terms of field, scale, and frequency. Professor Qiu analyzed the relationship between sports and diplomacy in detail and introduced the specific methods of sports diplomacy. "The Olympic Games is not only a sports arena, but also a diplomatic stage." As a form of sports diplomacy, the Olympic Games is an important opportunity for the host country to demonstrate its comprehensive national strength to the world, establish its good international image, promote its traditional cultural characteristics, and enhance its international status. At the same time, he also pointed out some problems existing in China's sports diplomacy. The role and functions of sports diplomacy need to be further explored, the international public opinion environment still needs to be improved, the effects of sports stars have yet to be developed, and their voice in international sports organizations is relatively low. In response to these problems, Professor Qiu believes that it is still necessary to adhere to the diplomatic strategy of combining "going out" and "bringing in" to strengthen foreign exchanges so that China's sports industry can develop better.
Finally, Professor Qiu analyzed the relationship between volunteers and sports public diplomacy. He pointed out,"The Beijing Winter Olympics is not only a grand event for athletes, but also for volunteers and all citizens. Volunteer service is an important part of the successful hosting of home diplomatic events." Volunteers must find the right role and integrate into the overall diplomatic work. At the same time, he also expressed good expectations to the volunteers of the University of w88 and Economic Cooperation who participated in this meeting, hoping that more talents from the University of International w88 and Economics will appear on the international stage in the future and add luster to China's diplomatic cause.
The footsteps of the Winter Olympics are getting closer and closer. I wish every Winter Olympics volunteer at the University of International w88 and Industry can participate in the upcoming Winter Olympics"Perform outstandingly" and show the style of Chinese youth to the world.
