I can safely say that almost all Taiwanese pop music is based on the chord progression of Canon in D. Really.
80s 90s HK songs are considered the better of the bunch already. I adore Sam Hui just because his lyrics make me laugh. In my opinion the entire industry is made up of mostly singers/performers, not musicians. Strangely, the HK songs that I like the most are 99% covers of Japanese songs. I don't think there is any worthy talent coming out from the Chinese (HK+TW+CN) music industry recently though.

You can just lump those 3 territories together, cause the music scenes are really just mirror images of each other.
They are made up of mostly singers/performers, but rite now most of these top selling stars can't really sing.
80s and 90s japanese writers really knew how to write good ballads, reason why i like Mika Nakashima is that some of her songs remind me of that time.
