Via Youtube:
Video is updating only once every few seconds at best, but it's better than nothing.

Portuguese commentary audio is not choppy. We get short announcements in English, too!

I think Brazil were using a prerecorded live action/animation to show something to the crowd. I don't think it was a livestream from China.

the video was indeed a video mix of prerecorded footage and animations but the muffled barely audible voice occasionally was a phone line from Taiyuan giving updates.
