Today in Beijing, Special Olympics Global Torch Bearer and California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger joined 700 Special Olympics athletes at a special event to celebrate the growth of Special Olympics in China, and to focus world attention on the upcoming Special Olympics World Summer Games, to be held in Shanghai in 2007.

The event, held at the China Millennium Monument, was attended by dignitaries including Deng Pufang, Chairman of the China Disabled Persons' Federation (CDPF); Sun Anmin, Vice Mayor of Beijing; Zhou Taitong, Vice Mayor of Shanghai and Chairman of the 2007 Special Olympics Games Steering Committee; Tang Xiaoquan, President of CDPF; Wang Zhijun, Chairman of Special Olympics China; Lu Shiming, Executive Vice President of CDPF; the leadership of Special Olympics, and citizens of Beijing.

Governor Schwarzenegger attended the event's opening ceremonies, which were followed by a Torch Run, and met with the top leadership both of Special Olympics China and the China Disabled Persons' Federation (CDPF). He
congratulated them on their tremendous support for people with intellectual disabilities, and encouraged their efforts to build acceptance in the world for this population.
