A-Mei, the Taiwanese pop diva sang the Taiwanese anthem at President Chen Shui-bian’s May inauguaration (2000) and raise a political storm. China withdrew her Sprite soft drink ads from TV, newspapers and billboards across the country, almost jeopardising her contract with Coca-cola. Spokesman for Coca-cola was quoted as saying that the company was informed of the withdrawal a day before A-Mei even performed at the inauguration. Puyuma pop star, A-Mei, in a recent Sprite commercial, dances and sings in the old colonial powers quarter of Shanghai. She sings a chorus of "give me true feeling" in Mandarin to promote the product of an American multinational corporation. This ad and her music videos are screened on Hong Kong's TVB, MTV, and on channels of Rupert Murdoch's Star TV Group. Bit 2 In an August 1999 article "China's crazy about A-Mei" by New York Times News Service reporter Seth Faison, A-Mei is described as being "Taiwanese" and No. 1 in China. Feth describes A-Mei's sell out concerts in Beijing as "overpowering any consideration of the current battle over" Taiwan's sovereignty. This is in reference to the latest spat between Taiwan and the PRC due to President Lee's "state to state" relations comments. Bit 3 The shifting images of A-Mei (Chinese name Chuang Hui-mei) are quite market responsive. She has been called a "pop diva", Taiwan's Mariah Carey and other related labels. She is a superstar by regional commercial criteria, her 5 CDs released thus far having sold millions of copies along with concert videos and VCDs. Her brand of cultural products has become well known throughout East Asia. She has large advertising contracts with Fuji Film and Sprite. In general, she's done well commercially.
