Mr. Li Tao, manager of Central CFI Cinemas, Beijing added: “It’s amazing that the Rolling Stones could make this revolutionary trip to Cuba and [give] a marvellous performance to Cuban people. I wish the Rolling Stones could come to China sometime in the near future. I was impressed by their energetic and professional performance. They are the superstar as always. It’s really nice to have them on the big screen. I appreciated very much to bring the film to Chinese audiences.”
