Reaching an average of 16 million homes, Prime Box Brazil channels and the Box Brazil Play platform have already started showing Chinese films and series.
The deal is framed by the cooperation agreement signed at the 11th BRICS Summit, in November 2019, between the Ministry of Citizenship of Brazil and CMG, towards deepening cultural and media exchanges.
The president of Box, Cícero Aragon, said “this is a great moment for Brazil and China, which are starting to build a new bridge of closeness through art and entertainment”.
