Research

We decided to do a little bit of research to find out what the Chinese laws are when it comes to copyrighting things. this is what we found,

Copyright law of the people's Republic of China

Article 2 Works of Chinese citizens, legal entities  or other organizations, whether published or not,  shall enjoy copyright in accordance with this Law. Any work of a foreigner or stateless person which is  eligible to enjoy copyright under an agreement concluded  between the country to which the foreigner belongs or in  which he has habitual residence and China, or under an  international treaty to which both countries are party, shall  be protected in accordance with this Law. Works of foreigners or stateless persons first published  in the territory of the People's Republic of China shall  enjoy copyright in accordance with this Law. Any work of a foreigner who belongs to a country which  has not concluded an agreement with China, or which is not  a party to an international treaty with China or a stateless  person first published in an country which is a party to an  international treaty with China, or in such a member state  or nonmember state, shall be protected in accordance with this  Law. Article 3 For the purposes of this Law, the term "works"  includes works of literature, art, natural science,  social science, engineering technology and the like which are  expressed in the following forms: (1) written works; (2) oral works; (3) musical, dramatic, quyi', choreographic and acrobatic works; (4) works of fine art and architecture; (5) photograPh1c works; (6) cinematographic works and works created by virtue of an  analogous method of film production; (7) drawings of engineering designs, and product designs;  maps, sketches and other graphic works and model works; (8) computer software; (9) other works as provided for in laws and administrative  regulations. This is all from this website:  http://www.chinaiprlaw.com/english/laws/laws10.htm This is all useful information in knowing where we stand when we use their music,  this basically says that we can use Chinese music under the condition that it is used  in work and if it is displayed on say YouTube that we clearly display that it is not our  music and that we have not copyrighted.
