So, yes, there was Chinese Eurodisco in the '80s - which does not surprise me, given that my cheap introduction to Italodisco was through pirate cassettes out of Hong Kong and Singapore that I could pick up in San Francisco's Chinatown at three for a dollar; but still I hadn't heard any actual Chinese performers on them, just the usual Belgians and Germans and Italians (and Canadians and Miamians).
Also this, which is MOR pop from the early '90s:
Yvonne Lau, the singer of "Snowy," had previously been half of the duo Paradox (I learned that from a Joni Mitchell fan forum!); did videos in which Lau and her musical partner would walk by each other without consenting to speak (which makes perfect sense, given that they're in a band together) or where they'd stare significantly at a bird cage while performing ProgRock.
And now I have stated the entirety of my knowledge of 20th century Chinese music.
