Olympic flame could blaze through Taiwan
He called on people in Taiwan to take part in the Games in many ways - through the volunteering programmes, marketing plans and venue construction. "Before and during the 2008 Olympic Games, altogether 100,000 volunteers will be needed. We hope to see many Taiwan people serving the Beijing Games," Jiang said. BOCOG officially launched its volunteers programme on June 5. Recruitment will begin in August 2006 and run through April 2008. On the business front, Jiang said he expected the Games to have a Taiwan sponsor. "We hope Taiwan companies will become the sponsors of the Games and share the business opportunities offered by it," he said. The Games' marketing development plan was launched in September 2003. So far nine partners and four sponsors have been selected. Jiang said he hoped Taiwan companies could get involved in the massive Olympic constructions in China's capital. "We are glad to see that many Taiwan people have already been involved in some of the solicitation campaigns, such as the Olympic emblem, the Olympic theme song and plans for the opening and closing ceremonies," Jiang added. "We hope to see Taiwan artists give wonderful performances at the annual Olympic Cultural Festival as well." On Taiwan's wish to host the Games' taekwondo competitions, Jiang said it is unlikely because the events are already scheduled for the Gymnasium of the University of Science and Technology in Beijing. The gymnasium will break ground by the end of this year.
