Before the event Ronnie said that he was going to help the sponsor to promote snooker in Daqing as well as playing in the tournament. Indeed he is still in China, and with Steve Davis has been doing press conferences, fans meet and greet and snooker exhibitions over the last two days. Here are some pictures posted on twitter and weibo by Jason Francis, Mike Dunn and the Chinese media.

Also on weibo I found these pictures, that are obviously screen captures. earlier this week, Liang Webo had an interview with Ronnie and those images are very likely from the broadcast by CCTV5 of this interview, today. They were obviously discussing Liang’s first ranking title at the English Open 2016.
