T The 2008 Olympic Games gave people from all over the world an opportunity to experience Beijing, the vibrant capital city of China. Beijing is both a tribute to China’s proud history and gateway to China’s future. The capital city during the Liao, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, Beijing has long been the political, cultural and diplomatic center of China. It is now an international metropolis, home to 11 million people from all walks of life. Alongside its many cultural antiquities, Beijing boasts an impressive modern skyline — a reﬂection of its rapid economic development (Figure 1). The recently expanded Beijing Capital International Airport, for example, is China’s largest and most advanced airport. The National Stadium, known as the “Bird’s Nest,” served as the main venue of the 2008 Olympic Games. China’s National Aquatics Center, or “Water Cube,” is another famous Olympic venue. These two buildings have become Beijing landmarks and today stand as a tribute to the admiration of the Chinese people for the Olympic purpose and principles. It is China’s hope that the 2008 Olympic Games carried forward those principles — promoting world peace, enhancing friendships among people of the world and allowing the Olympic spirit to ﬂourish. Agilent Technologies and China have a strong relationship with roots that stretch back to the establishment of China-HewlettPackard 23 years ago. Both Agilent and China have prospered, with Agilent becoming the world’s premier measurement company and China achieving some of the most spectacular economic gains of any country in history. With its world-leading solutions for wireless test and measurement, doping testing and food safety — backed by local support — Agilent worked to help ensure China delivered a successful 2008 Olympics on many fronts. Figure 1. Beijing is home to 7,300 cultural relics and historic sites, and more than 200 scenic spots — including the world’s largest palace, the Forbidden City, as well as the Summer Palace, Temple of Heaven and part of the Great Wall.
