With the rise of China and its increasing strength, the future of Chinese pop music should be based in mainland China and gradually go global, occupying an important place in the world of pop music, Chinese pop music will absorb the essence of the world's pop music combined with Chinese elements to create their own Chinese music.

Because of the backwardness of the mainland's economic development, mainland pop music in the 1990s, because of Cui Jian and others was the pinnacle, can still hold up half of the sky, and Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music to rival.

But after 2000, with the mainland's accession to the WTO and its formal entry into the market economy, RTHK's music entered the mainland market from mainstream channels.

During this decade, mainland pop music was completely unable to compete with RTHK pop music. Until after 2010, with the economic recession of Hong Kong and Taiwan, the mainland's economy has been developing rapidly, and the people's consumption level has increased, which began to vigorously promote the establishment of the mainland's cultural market.

Though there was a lot of chaos, the mainland movie box office exploded, and after 2012's "Lost in Thailand". The mainland music market began to explode, again after 2010.

For example, the number of music talent shows that allowed various musicians to debut, make a name for themselves, and so on, again after 2012's "The Voice of China," followed by "I Am a Singer," "China's Greatest Songs," "Star of China," and so on, is simply too high.

First, the mainland music industry chain is not perfect

The music record market, because of the arrival of the network digital music era, and thus collapsed. Now the mainland music market, in recent years, gradually established a digital music payment model, but still not perfect. Piracy is rampant, and it is quite difficult for musicians to have a high income based only on their music.

Secondly, Taiwan's peak musicians have not yet retired

Hong Kong not to mention, Taiwan's pop music last peak, naturally, is Jay Chou and other representatives of the musicians. Although David Tao, Wang Leehom and Jay Chou albums are no longer so frequent, JJ Lin is better (nationality Singapore, Taiwan debut development), but a few people after all, young, often in and out of variety shows, music residual power is still there.

Third, the rise of the new generation of mainland musicians is far from enough

May be because of the historical accumulation of reasons, or other reasons. This decade, although the center of Chinese music from Taiwan gradually to the mainland, but the rise of mainland musicians, regardless of the number, quality, musical works, influence, etc., now really not enough, far less than the previous decade of Taiwan musicians.
