The Chinese Embassy in Russia held a premiere on Tuesday for a documentary series entitled "This Is China", which was jointly produced by China and Russia. The series focuses on showing China's wisdom and creativity, while reflecting on developing trends in the Asian nation.

Visiting eight provinces in China, the crew completed the six episodes of the first season, which covered themes such as Shaolin kung fu, pandas and opera. The series is available in three languages -- Mandarin, Russian and English.

The joint production is in conjunction with the 2016 to 2017 Sino-Russian Media Exchange Year. It comes after a proposal by Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, calling for media from both countries to deepen cooperation and enhance bilateral cultural exchanges.
