Digi Doufu: Our monthly pick of China’s viral videos – May Issue
This month's issue is packed with a real range of different viral clips. Here we go:
1) Shanghai Expo song - is it a rip-off?
In the run-up to the Shanghai expo these two videos have had a large number of views; the first: the official Shanghai Expo song; the second: a 1997 Japanese pop song by Mayo Okamoto. The connection: they sound the same! Has the expo stolen the tune? You decide!

4) Cadillac CTS Drifting Girl Viral Vids
