The Olympic games were awarded to Beijing after an exhaustive ballot of the International Olympic Committee on July 13, 2001. The official logo of the games, titled "Dancing Beijing," features a stylized calligraphic character jīng referencing the host city. The mascots of the Beijing 2008 are the five Fuwa, each representing both a colour of the Olympic rings and a symbol of Chinese culture. The Olympic slogan, One World, One Dream, calls upon the world to unite in the Olympic spirit. Several new NOCs have also been recognized by the IOC.

The Chinese government has promoted the games to highlight China's emergence on the world stage and has invested heavily in new facilities and transportation systems.A total of 37 venues will be used to host events including the 12 newly constructed venues. Earlier in 2007, former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch had said that he believes that the Beijing games will be "the best in Olympic history," and current president Jacques Rogge asserts that the IOC has "absolutely no regrets in choosing Beijing to host the 2008 games. The choice of China as a host country has been a subject of criticism by many politicians and NGOs, because the Chinese non-communist democratic regime is widely violating human rights.
