Chinese netizens pissed at Kangta concert at Great Hall of the People

Conservative Chinese netizens are reportedly up in arms about last month’s concert by Korean pop star Kangta and Taiwanese singer Vanness Wu in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People.

It seems the netizens were a bit upset at the government for allowing the artists to turn China’s august legislative chamber into a “nightclub.”

Particularly infuriating were photos of Chinese fans dancing upon the desks otherwise used by deputees of the National People’s Congress.

Noteworthy about the debate, which is taking place at some online forum run by Xinhua, is that conservative netizens are taking the relatively open government to task.

Kangta’s concert was the first ever given by a foreign entertainer in the Great Hall of the People.  Since last year, Chinese authorities have been allowing local and overseas stars to use the legislative building and promoting its use as a venue for press conferences and other events.
