Yes, even here
It may be "Soup or Bowl Sunday" in the USA, but here it all goes down on Monday morning (there's a time difference, ya know?) The commentators are Chinese guys who know all about American football. Maybe they live in America or something.
They even showed halftime. If you are one of those who watched the Super Bowl for the commercials though, you may not have wanted to watch it in the Middle Kingdom, because the commercials are different here.
But please do not suppose that anyone in China was really watching the Super Bowl. While you were all bowing down to the gridiron, approximately 1.3 billion Chinese people were welcoming the arrival of the false "money god." More fireworks/firecrackers go off now than any other day in the entire year, including Chinese New Year day itself. So far the noise has gone on for 16-hours nonstop. Accuweather forecast shows today as a clear day in Bamboo Forest, but if they had checked the cultural calendar they would have predicted that the excessive fireworks of the day would obscure the sun instead. That is smoke in the photo, not fog. On a clear day you could see lots more tall buildings and mountains on the horizon.

They look kind of like this.
And this.
