This from CMU:

Hong Kong based pop star Jacky Cheung has hit out at China's music industry saying their obsession with pop acts combining music and TV careers to boost sales means young artists couldn't concentrate on their musical skills - and criticising labels for not investing enough time and money in new talent.

Cheung, one of China's biggest pop stars after twenty years of performing, told reporters: "If our own industry doesn't take it seriously, you can't expect others take it seriously. Once singers debut they are expected to be up to par. In reality, that's not really possible. Before, you were allowed to evolve, but now you're not."
