提出修昔底德陷阱的美国哈佛大学教授艾莉森上星期撰文指出，奥运会反映了中国作为美国最重要的地缘政治对手的几乎全方位的崛起。

The 2024 Paris Olympics concluded amid a whirlwind of excitement and controversy. Athletes worldwide gathered in France for 16 days of intense competition. 

In an unprecedented outcome, both China and the United States tied for the most gold medals, each winning 40. However, the United States led the overall medal count with 126, far ahead of China’s 91.

Harvard University’s Professor Graham Allison, who is the author of “Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides’s Trap”, noted that China's rise to become the leading rival of the United States in the Olympics mirrors its broader geopolitical ascent. 

In this episode of Global Heartbeat, host Han Yong Hong and Lianhe Zaobao’s China News Copy Editor Yu Zeyuan explore the implications of the Paris Olympics on global geopolitics, the doping disputes, and what to expect as the world turns its attention to the next Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
