Quality subways trains produced by Chinese company Changchun Railway Vehicle Co will run on line 4 to meet the expected rush during Rio Olympic, which will begin on Aug 6.

To guarantee a safe Olympic, X-ray security inspection equipment and video surveillance products made by Chinese companies will play their parts too in Rio.

At the construction site of the largest-ever Olympic village in Rio, a variety of heavy machinery from Chinese companies Sany, XCMG and Zoomlion are in use.

Chinese sportswear company 361°became the official uniform supplier for the game after a strict assessment lasting one year. More than 106,500 uniforms have been reportedly provided to technical staff, volunteers, test-event personnel and torch relay participants.

"Brazil welcomes Chinese companies and financial institutions to support Rio," said Rio Mayor Eduardo Paes.
