As the world's most-watched annual TV program, the gala, also known as "Chunwan," was first broadcast back in 1983 and is seen as a major cultural symbol for the traditional Spring Festival celebrations in China.
More than 100 Chinese and Brazilian guests from political, cultural, media and other circles attended the event titled "Prelude to the Spring Festival Gala, the World Watches the CMG Gala Together".

The event also included many cultural activities.
Brazil's Ministry of Culture posted on its official website a special report on the event Tuesday.
Several local mainstream media outlets covered the event.

China will make an objective and impartial final ruling over an anti-dumping probe in canola seed imports from Canada, the Ministry of Commerce said at a regular press briefing on Thursday.
The investigation, launched on Sept 9, 2024, has been extended to March 9, 2026 due to the complexity of the case, according to He Yadong, spokesman for the Ministry.
"During Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's visit to China this January, both sides reached specific arrangements for properly resolving economic and trade issues in areas such as electric vehicles, steel and aluminum products, canola seeds, and agricultural and aquatic products. Canada will make positive adjustments to its unilateral measures targeting Chinese electric vehicles, steel and aluminum products. In response, China will adjust its anti-discrimination measures in accordance with relevant laws and regulations," He said.
"Given the complexity of the case, the anti-dumping investigation in Canadian canola imports has been extended to March 9, 2026. The Ministry of Commerce will issue an arbitration notice prior to this date. Within the framework of relevant regulations, the Ministry of Commerce will fully consider Canada's reasonable claims and make an objective and fair final ruling based on facts and evidence," he said.
