The first set depicting the emblems of the Olympic and Paralympic Games was launched on December 31 last year. 

Previously, China issued a CNY1.20  (£0.13/$0.17/€0.15) stamp July 31 in 2015, to commemorate the awarding of the 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games to Beijing at the International Olympic Committee Session in Kuala Lumpur earlier that month ahead of only rival Almaty. 

The new stamps have been printed in separate sheets of 12.
