China makes mark at Edinburgh festival

LONDON - As a longtime participant at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, China has brought over 20 stage performances this year.

More than 3,000 performances are being staged at the festival by more than 50,000 presenters from 62 countries and regions over three weeks in August.

China Goes Pop!, a coproduction by China Arts and Entertainment Group and Broadway Asia International, combines staggering traditional Chinese acrobatic feats with a cheery Western aesthetic, blaring pop music and art, and a cutesy love story.
