Like the Thais, they love old rock, for instance .. like Scorpions, Bon Jovi, even The Police. They know some of the 80's synth pop stuff like Human League, Soft Cell, etc.

I've answered this question (in-part) in a recent blog post -http://pitythecool.com/?p=234.

In China and indeed throughout Asia there is a stable of hugely popular (and successful) domestic artists. Many of whom have sold more records than some of the west's biggest pop stars, remain unknown outside Asia.

It's a very broad question. In short, western music is extremely prevalent in China and throughout other parts of Asia. But all cases barring a few—e.g. Lady Gaga—Chinese domestic artists still out strip western artists in shear numbers of domestic fans. Media URL: http://pitythecool.com
