Sorry to say this, we have to admit less and less Chinese fans are listening to Chinese music and had never once before got as famous as Japan or Korea. This is properly due to the fact Japanese and Korean music sound much better than Mandarin or Cantonese. Japan and Korean dominates the Asia music industry even their fan base have reached from Europe, Latin, North america, Central Asia. Korean is even better, they even have fan base from Africa and middle east. But Chinese have never once dominated Asia, and even if they did it always had Japan in 1st place in past. Only Taiwan music dominate somewhat at third place in Asia, but I read from youtube their own people are protesting against Korean influence, and less and less Taiwanese are buying albums from their own artist. It isn't just music, Taiwanese dramas use to had some influence in Asia but now it's fading away because of Korean domination. HK cantonese movies use to dominate the action movie industry in world back in the 1970's to 2000's, but that was because of people like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Steven Chow Samo Hung, Chow Yun fat. Mandarin sounds ugly and whiny, and Cantonese sounds rude and loud. Other Chinese dialects sound worst, only Hokkien and Wu Chinese sounds good among Chinese dialects, if only they had the chance to represent Chinese music, I'm sure they would have had much larger fan base than today. But sadly, Wu Chinese is a culturally weak and useless dialect even in their own area. Hokkien sounds the most attractive of all Chinese but does not have enough representation.
China music never reached any country ( I can't name one singer or band that ever performed in other country).
Singaporean music had only few had ever reached 1 or 2 country.
HK music usually only 3 country, with the acception of Beyond their fan based reached from malaysia to Japan.
Taiwanese have few bands that reached from Indonesia to South Korea, but not anymore because of K-pop. Taiwanese have been trying to safe it's own country from K-Pop music domination by resorting to copy K-music like Super 7 (cheap imitation of SNSD).
