Description
France is about to present an Olympic opening ceremony like no other. That means it will face challenges, especially in ensuring safety for more than 300,000 spectators and thousands of others, including the athletes. What would be the most challenging part of the unprecedented security work? Will it become a mission impossible for Paris? How likely is it for the organizers to change the open-air ceremony plan? For more, host Tu Yun joins Dr. George Tzogopoulos, Director of EU-China Programmes and a Senior Research Fellow at the European Institute of Nice; Dr. Qu Qiang, a Fellow of the Belt and Road Research Center, Minzu University of China; And Mike Bastin, China observer and a Senior Lecturer at the University of Southampton for a close look at the issue on this episode of Chat Lounge.
