China will increase the supply of merchandise featuring "Bing Dwen Dwen", the panda mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, the organising committee said on Sunday.

The announcement came as Chinese media and internet users reported difficulty in purchasing souvenirs in the likeness of the chubby panda in a hard, transparent body suit. Many had queued for hours in cold weather outside a flagship store in Beijing but failed to get the soft toys and other decorations.

Why called“bing dwen dwen”and “Shuey Rhon Rhon”

Bing Dwen Dwen

It's a cartoon image of a panda wearing a spacesuit. It looks like a winter sports athlete from the future."Bing" means "ice" in Chinese, which is a symbol of winter sports. "Dwen" suggests health. "Dwen Dwen" gives the image a more friendly feel. Altogether, "Bing Dwen Dwen" shows the spirit of the Olympics, including a strong mind and a healthy body.

Shuey Rhon Rhon

It looks like a red lantern hanging on homes and streets to celebrate Chinese New Year. On its head are paper cuts of pigeons in the shape of the Temple of Heaven.

"Shuey" means "snow" in Chinese. "Rhon Rhon" are two different Chinese characters with the same pronunciation. The mascot, "Shuey Rhon Rhon（雪容融）", symbolizes communication among different cultures.
