[edit] Unsourced and biased statements

"Recent modern Chinese pop acts often rely heavily on western pop music influences, such that Chinese pop is often described as a 'copycat' version of western pop." - This statement is not reliable at all without a source so I had it removed. Chorus chord patterns from Chinese pop songs generally follow a similar chord pattern, unlike English pop songs which do not have a similar chord pattern during the chorus. --218.186.9.3 04:25, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Only mandopop and cantopop?

I propose we change the text to "two major subcategories". There is c-pop in other dialects, too. I understand that most of Taiwanese pop is not C-pop but that does not mean there are not others. For example, 伍家辉 is Malaysian and sings Hokkien songs, which I classify as C-pop. Also, Taiwanese group 五月天 has Taiwanese songs that are nothing like enka but more like C-pop.
