"Previously, technical support for all Olympic opening ceremonies was provided by European or American companies. It's truly a great honor for us Chinese to participate in the production of public signals for the opening ceremony," said Yin Jiahui, an engineer at CMG's First Broadcasting Department.
During the Games, CMG will also take on the task of producing international public signals for figure skating and short-track speed skating for the first time.
