Who is the guy at 1:07 doing his best Kim Jung-Un impression?

Also the Airport Express tunnel looks damn near inviting in this. Luckily the smog in this situation actually makes the tunnel look all futuristic here. Normally it just look shitty and falling apart….

Sick to F of seeing the same old faces in Chinese music as well with their condescending “Beijing blesses you” bollocks.

As far as possibly could be imagined. Thus this song!

Nice Ayi style line dancing lol!

I will say it’s better than the 4 word, well actually 3, 2 sentence fragment “Better City Better Life” earsore that graced the airwaves nonstop during Expo 2010!

I read it was orchestrated by Jackie Chan as a charity single in collaboration with the Beijing municipal government (oh, look at all those touristy shots). And the usual netizen humour behind it was that Jackie Chan could get more celebrities to sing with him than the Beijing Olympics Committee did with 北京欢迎你.
北京欢迎你 was actually a good song, however.

Also, does anyone get the feeling that China has lots and lots of good looking female celebrities, and about…three…good looking male ones? Step up, you actors and singers, you.
