Olympics meets old steel mill in symbolic makeover

People who had not visited Shougang Group's old steel production complex in western Beijing would never have associated a steel maker with the Olympic Games.

The city organized media representatives from countries involved in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization - the Eurasian political, economic and security organization founded in Shanghai - to visit the offices of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics organizing committee last month.

It's been built in the former home of Shougang Group, the company having moved its iron and steel smelting operations to neighboring Hebei province.
