The online concert was broadcast live globally through media in Chinese, French and English on online platforms including People's Daily, CCTV News, Xinhua, Chinanews, China Daily website, China Culture & Tourism app and Cmedia TV, as well as social media platforms including YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.

When the central Chinese city of Wuhan reported the COVID-19 outbreaks, renowned cultural figures in France showed their support to China's fight against the pandemic, the Chinese embassy in France said in a statement.

More than 300 French artists and cultural workers had jointly issued a public letter, 40 theater performing artists lent their voice to the collaborative song Together, and players of the Paris Saint-Germain Football Club wore jerseys with "Be Strong, China" printed on them.

When France reported rising cases of COVID-19, the Chinese side also provided assistance in delivering medical supplies to France, it said.
