A Welshman in China Sings Maoist Ditties to Mass Acclaim

Just heard about this because Ceeb radio's Carol Off was interviewing him on As It Happens:

Ex-pat Iain Inglis is bringing his own cultural revolution to China with a bit of Mao Tse-SONG! 

Because Chairman Mao would be proud of Welshman Iain, who has made dozens of appearances on local and national TV in China singing “red songs” – revolutionary songs which hail the wonders of socialism. 

His novelty act captured the hearts of Chinese television audiences everywhere and the Russian and German graduate has found himself called to all corners of the country to put on unique performances. 

“It was a bit of fun to start off with,” Cardiff-born Iain told WalesOnline from his home in Sanya, on the tropical island of Hanya, where he lives with his wife, Yu Yanling...

In response to Off's question about whether it bothered him to be singing songs associated with a mass-murdering dictator (she may not have phrased it exactly like that), he said that it didn't because all that stuff is, like, soooo old. (Gee, I wonder how he'd feel singing the Horst Wessel song to Germans.)
