Īccording to China Radio International, PSY introduced himself to his Chinese fans by uploading a video onto the online media company Sina Corp and subsequently announced the official opening of his account at Sina Weibo, the Chinese equivalent of Twitter.

On October 10, 2012, it topped the country's Baidu 500 download list and was subsequently labelled by state-controlled media as a 'divine melody'. ĭespite government authorities censoring a few 'Gangnam Style' parodies such as ' 草泥马 style' by the Chinese dissident Ai Weiwei, the song has nevertheless received a positive reception in China.

ĭue to the fact that the video sharing plattform YouTube was officially censored at the time of 'Gangnam Style's release in July 2012, internet users in China have accessed the music video by streaming it from Chinese video plattforms such as Tudou and Youku. In the Chinese language, 'Gangnam Style' is often written as '江南style' with 'Gangnam' translated into its Chinese language equivalent '江南' (Jiang Nan) and 'Style' unchanged except for the first letter written lower-case. Īccording to Amnesty International, the British sculptor Anish Kapoor's Kapoor's film Gangnam for Freedom has won the support from various human rights organisations including Liberty, Index on Censorship and The Helen Bamber Foundation. On October 20, 2012, the Board of the GCF announced that Songdo had won the right to host the fund. He announces that a 'new paradigm' will begin at Songdo with the GCF and the video heralds 'The beginning of Songdo Style' while 'Gangnam Style' plays in the background. During its campaign to win the right to host the GCF, the country's Presidential Committee on Green Growth produced a promotional video entitled 'GCF Songdo Style by Psy' in which PSY recommends Songdo as the host city for the GCF. Songdo, a ubiquitous city 40 miles (65 km) west of Gangnam, was among five cities vying for the right to host the Green Climate Fund (GCF), a project developed by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to channel $100 billion a year from developed countries to help developing countries combat climate change.
