I think we in China should not care much about whether or not the leader of a particular country is coming to the games.
Normally, the absence of a few VIPs from the games will go unnoticed, but some of the west media choose to make an issue of it. To us, that is kind of funny. To try to make an issue of VIP will not achieve the purpose of embarrassing China. Instead, it can only serve to make a spectacle of the VIP in question. Now, let put the things right. The games are sport event. The focus of the world’s people will be on the performance of the athletes, not on the political leaders. What this country should care is how to stage together with IOC a class-A sport event and ignore any petty political manoeuvre.
We in China must learn to ignore what should be ignored. In our run to modernization, there are always noises created by some quotes. Those noises are made with the purpose of diverting us from our course. They are very familiar to us. Haven’t we experienced enough embargoes, slanders and demonization of our country by the same quotes since the founding of New China? Our best response to these noises is to manage our own house well and to ignore them. This is I suggest should also be our response to the recent noises made by European parliament and U.S House of Representatives.
As the Russian saying goes: The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.
在我看来，我们中国人对一些外国领导人是否出席奥运会开幕式不必太在意。在通常情况下，个别被邀嘉宾的缺席并不会引起人们过多的关注，但最近一些西方媒体却在此问题上大做文章。其目的无非是想困窘中国、阻挠北京奥运。这对于我们来说是可笑的。这种“一厢情愿”的阴谋也终将是要破产的。因为奥运会本身是一项体育运动，人们关注的核心是运动员的表现，而非政要出席与否。他们的这些作法最终只会使相关嘉宾出洋相而已。所以，我们真正应当做的不是去过度关注那些别有用心的政治伎俩，而是如何与奥组委共同举办好这次奥运盛会。
我们必须学会忽视那些应当忽视的东西。从新中国成立至今，我们经历过太多次的对我们的贸易封锁，太多次的诋毁，太多次的对中国的妖魔化。我们经常会听到各种“噪音”，他们就是要我们偏离我们的“轨道”。这些我们已经再熟悉不过了。我想我们对此最好的回应方式就是建设好我们的家园并忽视那些应当忽视的。我想这也是对最近英国议会以及美国众议院最好的回应。
正如俄国谚语所说：尽管狗群乱吠，旅行队照样前进。
