Chinese music actually exposes its audience to many beats from around the world. I’ll give you one example.

“Aserejé” became a phenomenon in Europe and Latin America in summer of 2002. The all-girl group Las Ketchup from Spain became overnight superstars, and the song became popularly known as “The Ketchup Song“. The song was re-made in Chinese by an all-boy group Comic Boyz [可米小子], who also became overnight idols in the Chinese music scene after releasing the song as their debut song. This version was released not more than four months after the Spanish song.

This is the original song by Las Ketchup.

This is the Chinese version, “Hey Hah!”, by the boy band Comic Boyz.
