CHINA’S Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR) is joining hands with the mainland to broadcast China-made TV programs translated into and dubbed in Portuguese on local channels and in Portuguese-speaking countries (PSCs).

This is part of an initiative launched Tuesday to better tell the stories of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) to help audiences in the PSCs learn about the Chinese culture and its latest development, according to the Macao SAR Government.

Ho Iat Seng, chief executive of the Macao SAR, said that the initiative will help Macao better play its role of a platform for cultural exchanges between China and the PSCs.

The initiative also includes plans for seven mainland provincial-level TV channels and new media platforms and their seven counterparts in the Hong Kong and Macao SARs to broadcast quality audiovisual works showcasing the development of the GBA, starting this month.(Xinhua)
