China Media Group (CMG) just dropped a legal mic 🎤 with its latest copyright declaration for the 2026 Spring Festival Gala – Asia's most-watched cultural extravaganza! The media giant announced exclusive global rights to its iconic mascots Qiqi, Jiji, Chichi, and Chengcheng 🐰✨, along with all Gala-related designs and logos.
Here's the tea ☕: From viral memes to merch designs, no one can use these cultural symbols without CMG's written permission. This applies to everyone – from TikTok creators to big corporations – whether for profit or just for fun. Even adapting the designs could land you in hot water! 🔥
Key restrictions include:
No remixing mascot designs 🚫🎨
No using logos in ads or promotions 🚫📢
No trademark incorporation without approval 🚫™️
CMG is going full Sherlock 🔍 in 2026, vowing to monitor violations and pursue legal action against unauthorized use. But don't worry – approved partners can still create magic ✨ if they follow CMG's style guidelines to the letter!
This move comes as the Spring Festival Gala continues bridging tradition and modernity, with 2026's edition expected to feature cutting-edge AR elements 🕶️ and global collaborations 🌐. Stay tuned – and stay original!
