According to the agreement, China Media Group will also establish a news center for the Greater Bay Area in Shenzhen. The state radio and television broadcaster and the Guangdong government will collaborate in areas such as film and television production, 5G new media technologies, and 4K ultra-high-definition programming.

At the signing ceremony, the President of China Media Group Shen Haixiong said that the broadcaster would continue to build itself into a capable and influential world-class media organization. And he said that China Media Group would work with the government in Guangdong on the development of the Greater Bay Area.

Ma Xingrui, the governor of Guangdong Province, and Li Xi, the secretary of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, were also at the agreement signing ceremony. The governor said that the province should work together with China Media Group to make the most of the opportunities on offer in the Greater Bay Area.

The Pearl River Delta is home to one of the most dynamic economies in China. The integration of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area is expected to contribute to the further opening-up of the national economy and the expansion of high-quality development.

The Greater Bay Area and Guangdong branches will be the newest regional bureaus for China Media Group, following the opening of two bureaus in Shanghai.
