Here’s what he’s telling Chinese state media:

“I want to introduce more Chinese musical elements into the pop music to attract young people.”

“As an ‘envoy of Spring Festival’ , I shoulder the responsibility of inheritance and promotion of Chinese culture.”

“I hope my music has been closely linked with the young generations, as well as the world’s fashion,” he said.

    Does China know? Because they keep using Western pop music as a basis for most of what’s being played today. lol…

    Why should he promote music of purely commercial intent? Does it need promoting? What a vacuous figure Lang-Lang is.
