Connecting the world through cultural exchanges.

China Arts and Entertainment Group Ltd. (CAEG) was established in April 2004, with its major subsidiaries, China Performing Arts Agency (CPAA) and China International Exhibition Agency (CIEA), tracing their origins back to 1957 and 1950, respectively. Since joining Bauhinia Culture Group in 2021, CAEG has remained a leading force in China's international cultural exchange. Committed to telling China's stories well and sharing China's voice with the world, it continues to strengthen international communication and expand China's global cultural outreach.

As a state-owned cultural enterprise in China with a global footprint in performance and exhibition businesses, CAEG has cultivated a nationwide market network encompassing international performing arts, art exhibitions, cultural tourism, and theater operations. It has established three regional headquarters — the Southern Headquarters, Southeast Headquarters, and Southwest Headquarters — and wholly-owned subsidiaries in key cities including Hong Kong, Macao, Tianjin, and Xiamen, forming a multi-dimensional operational network that extends across the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and Macao, linking the north and south. Annually, CAEG presents over 5,000 diverse performances, exhibitions, and cultural activities both domestically and internationally, reaching more than 10 million audience members.

The group and its subsidiaries have received multiple prestigious honors, including awards related to the Beijing 2008 Olympics and Paralympics, Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, cultural product export, and cultural industry development, earning a spot among the "Top 30 China Cultural Enterprises" for eight consecutive years since 2009.

Leveraging this network, it has established the CPAA Theater Alliance, which brings together 70 member theaters across 27 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities nationwide, as well as the Silk Road International League of Theatres (SRILT), a global platform for cultural exchange. Today, the SRILT comprises 188 member institutions from 48 countries and regions, including 96 overseas members.

Leveraging the CPAA TICKET+ digital intelligence platform, it has achieved an integrated online-to-offline full-chain service system that brings together ticketing, cultural and creative products, and membership plans. The network spans China, with landmark venues including the Guangzhou Opera House and Bay Opera of Shenzhen in the south, the Shunyi Grand Theatre and Beijing TMH CPAA Grand Theatre in the north, the Shanghai Daning Theatre and Dezhou Grand Theatre in the east, and the Gansu Grand Theatre in the west.
