Warren Buffett, widely revered in China for his investment savvy, will sing and play guitar to celebrate China’s upcoming lunar new year in a specially recorded performance to be aired online by state television.

CNTV, the internet TV arm of CCTV, the state broadcaster, said the 81-year-old Mr Buffett has recorded a video for a special “Spring Festival” gala performance to be aired online.

“We all know that Buffett is good at investment, but few knew he also did well in singing,” Wang Pingjiu, a production executive for the broadcast, told a press conference on Thursday, according to Xinhua, the state news agency. Mr Wang did not disclose Mr Buffett’s song choice.
