When Syria athletes entered the stadium, there erupted thunderous applause and cheers from the Chinese audience.
We love and support Syria!
Yes Syria is good friend of China.
Syria suffered so much, and I hope Syria and China's friendship will remain strong forever.
Chinese never bully and oppress small countries and treat each other as equals
And Syrian president was also there!
China is the KING of Mega Events. Never disappointed!
No propaganda

@@almankhan6602...what about Indonesia ...Indo-mee-eating competition? 😂😭🤕🤮😷🤧
UAE participants wave Chinese flags....deep friendship n gratitude
I just visited UAE last month. 🇦🇪🤝🇨🇳
I saw many China flags in UAE on China's national day.
im a Chinese working and living in Qatar , thanks for Al Jazeera for the objective report about china not same as western media.
Al Jazeera was just part of the US led West 5 eyes network of propaganda industrial complex. So don't bring your hopes up on them. Hence why they tried to hint on the past "restrictions" so much in the reporting.
The success and hope for peace that China brings to the world's stage is hard to ignore. But sadly, the West tries.
China has won the hearts and minds of the majority of the world, with peace, science, technology, engineering and medicine.
I'm from the US, I❤China!
@@johnelamin65I'm Chinese American and moved the eff out of New Jersey. Probably many Chinese will be put in concentration camps when your Yankee govt starts the war against China
Is this the first China reporting from Al Jazeera you have seen? 😂 they never disappoint on “objective” China reporting 😂
@@johnelamin65 and they help a lot for a win win cooperation
although the ceremony was futuristic, the performances were so rich with their ancient culture. an incredibly beautiful fusion and very reminiscent of what China looks like now, so modern yet all the history is still preserved
Yep. Future and ancient fusion. In Beijing you may have two tall skyscrapers with a 1000yo 2 story temple right in the middle!
科技与文化的完美结合🥰
totally agree
欢迎来中国玩，我们中国人热情，有爱。
"very reminiscent of what China looks like now". Your comment fits like a glove, showing that all these visual effects are fake
To say this was spectacular would be an understatement. Bravo China. Especially pleased to see Syrian athletes at this event. Love and respect to all participants from Iran
Awesome job from the organizers🤟 It was good to see our Nepali athletes there too🙏🇳🇵
Lot of love from India 🇮🇳 to Nepal.
🇳🇵🤝🇨🇳
I don't think the Olympic Council, organizer and committee will trust South Asia country with the same more than 1.4 billion population like China has the ability to host and organize Olympic Game and Asian Game events for the next 30 years. China has already proven more than 10 years ago they have hosted the Beijing Olympic and was said to be the best Olympic Game ever before. Also Winter Olympic Game in Beijing last year and now again hosting Asian Games.
@@IndianStreetShittersPajeetkeep politics out! Are you a Yankee, polluting every conversations with politics?
@@IndianStreetShittersPajeet this video is about sports event. Who the eff cares about your "facts". Get lost
Love the theme song. All the best to the athletes
BGM：我们的亚细亚
magnificent!👍👍
China is the hope for Asia. This is Asian Games, and thus should have all Asian countries come together & unite and share their cultures and learn from each others.
Absolutely magnificent, high tech

They use CGI effects, simply pathetic...
@@renatomota9830you against CGI? do you also call out on all the movies that use CGI? what a rubbish.
well its ok, western imperials can continue to burn millions and trillions, both on firework and bombs. pathetic.
Don't spread rumors, all the technology here is Chinese technology, and all the products are made in China@@renatomota9830
很高兴我所在的城市杭州成功举办亚运会！欢迎大家来杭州旅游！
The Syrian people deserve China's admiration. More than 20 years of war and tragic earthquakes have not made Syria surrender!
Imagine an Asia without those bad influence from the outside. India, China, Japan, Indonesia, our western Asian brothers and sisters. The history, culture, resource, wealth, technology. The future is truly in Asia.
只要把美国排除在外，你的想象就实现了
even without those bad influence from the outside, it's hard to have india and japan to work well with the rest of Asia. India and Japan have totally different mindsets from the rest.
@@haniahannslew4108Actually it's China Taliban Afghanistan and Porkistan who are problem for Asia. India and Japan are peaceful countries who have maintained good relationship with all except above 3 pathetic countries

spectacular! 💛
The opening event shows the ingenuity and greatness of the Chinese culture and civilization!
Long live the Chinese people!
Long live China and all the participating countries!!
👏👏👏💪💪💪💓
The opening ceremony showed the excellent Chinese traditional culture . Congratulations.
Every East Asian culture is a variation of Chinese culture. So, it pretty much represents all East Asians traditional culture.
Fun Fact : The 2025 Asian Winter Games will be set in Harbin
Wow the display is spectacular. This is next level. The best I have seen. Can’t imagine the pressure the next host is gonna have. This is unbeatable
France is in cold sweat now. 😅
@@marvinfok65 i live in Paris and next years Olympics you will see a lot of policeman and military for security
Recuerdo que al día siguiente de la inauguración de los juegos olímpicos de Beijing 2008, en Londres dijieron que no esperen algo de esa naturaleza que era imposible para ellos 😂😂

I would say UAE received biggest applause, the team holding both UAE and Chinese flags, marking the strongest ever relationship between the two countries

阿联酋运动员的礼貌和友好，给中国观众留下了深刻印象。
I'm a Chinese, welcome to China! we can work together to achieve co-prosperity!
@@user-pe7le4th2g Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere? 🤔
From Mega sporting events like Olympics , Youth Olympics , Universiade , Asian Games , Asian Youth Games , Asian Winter Games and Asian Beach Games , They already have sufficient amount of experience , infrastructure and professional management to manage multi sports event , so i won't worried too heavily
By the way, Good luck to all teams
Winter Olympics
Great things come from China starting with the Great Wall😂🤣😂
Large events without the participation of the United States are often peaceful, peaceful, and pleasant
Yankee govt threaten to boycott the 2022 Beijing Olympics but went anyways. I hope they boycott every sports event. Evil sneaky devils
you're right，bro
少了美國的搗亂 世界會更好
👍
truth
Obviously none of any G7 country able to achieve or close to organize this type of Open Ceremony like Hangzhou, China did.
Well done China
All G7 countries are falling apart.
@@DK-ev9dg False.
Actually, it didn't cost much money. There shouldn't be fireworks. They were all super large displays and holographic projection technology, and the stage floor was all covered with displays. You can directly show what you want.
@@frankfleming1103 You have no idea regard to atom technology. This open ceremony in China if don't have more than 5G speed of network, you have zero chance to present it. This is the future technology and no chance any G7 country at this moment able to do it (at least 5 years)
So proud of being a Chinese, especially as a Hangzhou native guy 🎉🎉🎉
"The worse Russia's relations are with the West, the closer Russia will want to be to China. If China supports you, no one can say you're isolated," said Vasily Kashin, a China expert at the Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CAST) think thank.
The same can be said about Syria. If China supports Syria, no one can say that Syria will be isolated.
We love and support Syria!
中国不搞霸凌
The Chinese people naturally express deep sympathy and love for Syria. Because China is also a country ravaged by imperialism. Chinese people pay tribute to the Syrian people and are convinced that Syria will be built better and better
@@user-cc9pi2ro4m Still fighting a civil war, no genuine talks for peace by Al-Assad's government, more anti-government protests, especially in Sweida; yeah, Syria's not closer to being rebuilt or built better.
叙利亚和中国是兄弟，我们要和平发展，让我们的生活更加美好
Good luck to all athletes
" ' OVERWHELMING
SPECTACULAR ❤️ " '
Many people only know about the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics! In fact, China has also held several large-scale and very exciting opening and closing ceremonies!
For example:
The opening and closing ceremonies of the 2019 Military Games, and the 2019 Asian Culture Carnival!
The Chinese government and people are staunch supporters of the Syrian government and people. We support the Syrian people in resisting the shameless imperialist aggression.
Thanks for knowing that.
Great job China its very well planned and environment friendly as well!
After watching the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games, you basically don’t need to watch the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. If its level can reach half of the opening ceremony of the Hangzhou Asian Games, it will be considered a super success.
But in my heart, the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games cannot be surpassed, and the same is true for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which is unparalleled. I think China will not bid to host the Olympics for a long time in the future. Unlike 2008, A rising China no longer needs an Asian Games or Olympic Games to prove itself.
You should take another look: the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2019 Military Games, and the 2019 Asian Culture Carnival!
You're right, but a lot of people would like to see China host a World Cup China is the only country that hasn't hosted a World Cup yet
@@blesslee8576 No，we refuse host the World Cup
@@blesslee8576 Lol hosting the world cup that they arent really qualified to participate in?
@blesslee8576 It's impossible to be able to win a match or even score a goal for chisese men's football team,so we refuse to host the world cup. lol
Love the futuristic effects
best wishes to all !
Good luck to every athlete. Hope everyone enjoys the competition. And congrats to China for another very successful hosting and opening ceremony :)
BBC: but at what cost?
Thank you China!
Beautiful ❤
LOVE from Egypt
I will keep writing it in so many videos 10000000 times no matter how many times it gets deleted :)
Old Chinese culture ❤❤
What an amazing and beautiful opening ceremony! ❤❤
This was "THE GREATEST OPENING CEREMONY IN ANY GLOBAL SPORTING EVENT, EVER!!". Nothing even close to that what they did, stunning ! 👏👏
2008 Beijing Olympics was better and grand.
@@PlasmodiumV2008 so shocking and unforgettable memories
@@PlasmodiumV 2008 was great, no doubt. But I will still prefer this one.
@@purplemist2779 杭州是古代文化和现在科技的结合，无与伦比的！
This is simply another level, beyond people's imagination, just like opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has never been surpassed.
I am afraid that when we look back in 10 years, the opening ceremony of the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games will not be surpassed either,
even the United States will find it difficult to surpass, because China's good at with hosting events with its huge scale and technical capabilities,
The high level reception of Syria delegation really made me cry. It remind me of the first time China sent the first delegation of a single athelete to the olympics, back then our country was broken and extremely poor. Theres a old Chineses saying, i want to offer you an umbrella, caused ive been through rain.
China is the cultural hub of the World...
I wanna cry when Syria entered the stage and the Chinese audience broke into the loud applause
我也是，希望世界和平
im a Chinese working and living in America, thanks for Al Jazeera for the objective report about china not same as western media hand-purple-blue-peace
Why are you working and living in America, then?
@@NafoDato Mainly because of work. It's difficult to get high salary job in China since most Chinese are smart and hard-working. Here in the US, most people are still trying to figure out how many genders there are so competition for high pay position is way less fierce.
China knows how to do a spectacular sport opening ceremony event .. so amazingly beautiful
I love Asian games 2022. So beautiful and elegant. Very go green. From Indonesia
Not a word about this international event in BBC !
How can someone says a word if he or she is jaw dropping ??? 🤣🤣🤣
Westerner are repeating exacrly what China's Qing dynasty did 100 years ago ingoring the more advanced civilization
the BBC still claim to be a international news media?once i look to the BBC to have the latest news nowadays i cant remember when was the last time i tune in to the BBC?completely biased and so selective of world news events that a local 3 rd world news channel can provide more news and fair news
China is amazing. Stunning opening ceremony 🎉👏
This opening ceremony is telling the world that this is Asia's century, and that includes Russia (which Europe has firmly rejected). Asia, no matter whether it's China, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, North Korea, Russia or Pakistan, are all in it together, working together for a better future where they are no longer second class citizens.
You better ask Russian first if they want to be Asian or not.
@@georgelaw8978 Apart from Hungary and Serbia, they have no European friends. In case you haven't noticed, the whole of Russia east of the Urals is Asian.
After the unfair discrimination against Russian athletes by the Olympics committee, I hope Russia can be invited to be a part of these games in the future. Russia is a big part of Asia after all
i agree, i think Russia should join Asia.
They have very strong athletes too.
All countries who have balls to say No to Americans are in Asia. No Europeans have balls.
Ni hao, greetings from China! The 2023 Asian Games were held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province last Saturday with its opening ceremony 🇨🇳
我爱你，中国
Keren parah, good job China
The Asian Games held at Hangzhou in China is extraordinary with such captivating opening ceremony.
The Asian Games is a multi-disciplinary sports event held once in every four years and is the second largest multi-sport event after the Olympics.
It certainly is a wonderful event for 46 nations to participated in the Asian Games with China putting an entrancing sport event for the people and participants alike.
Well done China.
The fire works are fake, the effects are fake good lord haha
@@misanthropelife The opening ceremony of the Asian Games held at Hangzhou in China is extraordinary and simply amazing.
Whether it is stage pyrotechnics, indoor pyotechnics, pyro fireworks, cold pyro fireworks or fireworks, it is a sight to behold.
@@paultsjan6047 the fireworks are CGI. You can only see it on the screen/television
@@misanthropelife What is your beef!?!?!
Your disgruntled view is irrelevant and have no bearing to my enjoyment in watching the opening ceremony.
Whether it is computer-generated imagery, stage pyrotechnics, indoor pyrotechnics, pyro fireworks, cold pyro fireworks or fireworks, it is a sight to behold.
@@paultsjan6047 none, i just told that’s all CGI. That’s it lols
spectacular visual effect
You can't blame the western media to be jealous, there's no way any western country can host a game and design, realize an open ceremony like that.

Good luck to all participants!
incredible!
Hope all Asian countries have a great sports season ( Asian Games 2023 ). Enjoy the sport and share peace with the world !
Congrats china
Wow.spectacular ceremony 👏👏👏👏👏
China alway so cool🎉 ,good luck to everyone
Thank you Al Jazeera for reporting on this spectacular opening ceremony. Meanwhile there is a blackout of reporting of this event in the US and European media. I would suggest the CNN, CBS and Bloomberg to report on this event but with bunches of sour grapes in their videos replacing the performers in the opening ceremony.
China really doing so well. Congratulation to China.
First of a kind
Wonderful ceremony for Asian Games, I am proud of it.
It is fantastic
So proud of being a Chinese, especially as a Hangzhou native guy 。When I heard the Hangzhou city song "Dream Paradise", I burst into tears instantly. It has been 22 years since I sang this song.
Wait you are allow to use youtube?

Did you cry as well when you doing out that all firework are fake it did not happen in real life
@@davidlau83 Will you cry when you know that the whole Hangzhou is a light show? Will you cry when you know that those digital technologies are more expensive and more environmentally friendly than real fireworks?

As a Chinese national, I'm proud of the magnificent event. The ceremony is fantastic. More importantly, DPRK athletes' attendance is inspiring. I have to say that it's a ceremony without physical fireworks.
I will watch contest next month.
Are you proud of you country’s greed? Stop bullying other countries.
POOR CHINESE 😂😂😂 LOW QUALITY OF MATERIALS 😂😂😂
@@michaelsoldevilla7544 SORRY
Abandon physical fireworks for environmental protection
It was faked, we stood and watched from across the road and there was no fancy lights or running athlete.
Lol...be proud of how dishonesty reaches every corner of your society.
CGI-all of it.
I was part of it it’s so amazing I’m missing the vibe of our rehearsals
Very good! So beautiful!
And this is how out of the many ways China create its GDP, just look at the amount of spending, creation and services both internally and externally are out together for this Asian Games. Cool 👍
Hangzhou has a good economy, but its facilities lag a lot behind those of first-tier cities. The local government just happened to get a budget to upgrade the city's infrastructure.
Actually, it didn't cost much money. There shouldn't be fireworks. They were all super large displays and holographic projection technology, and the stage floor was all covered with displays. You can directly show what you want.
awesome
It’s not about who win the games. It’s about how you host the games.
愿各位健儿满载而归！
I love you, China 🇨🇳 ❤❤
China did a great show. 👍 keep up the good work, China 🇨🇳
Next level ceremony way to go China.
