Thomas Bach, Honorary President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), has been a strong supporter of sports development in China and the Olympic Movement throughout his tenure as IOC President. Regarded as "an old and good friend of the Chinese people," Bach has visited China multiple times and held over a dozen meetings and calls with President Xi Jinping. What transformative progress has China made in sports? How has President Xi's vision and leadership advanced sports in China? And what role can sports play in bridging divisions in today's world? In this episode, filmed at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, we sat down with Bach to explore China's dynamic sports journey under President Xi's visionary leadership and discuss how sports can promote peace and unity globally.
