China finds home away from home in London

The China House in central London's Waldorf Hilton is the Chinese Olympic Committee's main hospitality and business center through the London Olympics - and it has been bustling.

"The China House aims to increase communication between China and the world in both sports and culture," Ma Jilong, head of the COC's marketing department, told China Daily.

Since the Games began, many Chinese athletes have been coming to the China House to relax and take media interviews after competitions, including Olympic shooter Yi Siling, swimmer Ye Shiwen, and divers Wu Minxia and He Zi.
