Why are some domestic songs exactly the same as foreign ones? The melody, music, and rhythm are exactly the same, but the language and words are different. Is it plagiarism?

It is true that many domestic songs are covered or plagiarized, especially among Hong Kong and Taiwan singers. Many of the songs that you think are very popular in China are probably covers, because domestic music The production level is indeed not good, and the songs I like are basically covers or plagiarized, so now I don’t listen to Chinese songs, but directly listen to foreign ones. "Wrong Wrong Wrong" is a single (a cover of the same song) by the Vietnamese pop group HKT. The "Tian Tuan" of HKT's three artists from Vietnam, Titi, Kiet, and Hung, became popular on the Internet and were called "the trio of washing, cutting and blowing" by netizens.

The song "Not Afraid" is a cover of the Romanian song "Dragostea din tei" by the "O-zone" band from Moldova. The lyricist Xiao Wei was invited to cover it for Guo Meimei as "Not Afraid Not Afraid"[4].

I only know 3 of Guo Meimei’s songs, including My Darling and Love Goddess, which are also covers. The common understanding of plagiarism and covers is that plagiarism means that I put my own label on the song and start making money without spending any money to buy the copyright of the song. This is plagiarism. Covering means that I bought the copyright of the song and marked the original when singing it. Whoever sang it, this is a cover. It’s not difficult to figure out who is the original singer and who is the cover or plagiarism. You can directly search on Baidu, such as Wrong, wrong, wrong, Baidu search, wrong, wrong, wrong, original version, and a bunch of information will come out.
