The "Best Chinese Pop Songs List," which was suspended in January this year, will be back into operation on Jan. 1, 2003, along with new selection standards.

Lu Changhe, president of China National Culture and Art Co. Ltd., announced the news Friday at a press conference in Beijing.

The list was initiated in 1997 by the Chinese Association of Light Music and Music Life, a professional newspaper, as well as more than 200 Chinese radio stations.

Once ranked the largest pop song billboard in China and all of Asia, in the past five years it has covered all provinces and regions in China.

Lu, also vice-chairman of the billboard's organizing committee, said the billboard once promoted many songs and singers, and made great contributions to boosting Chinese pop music production. However, it was gradually halted due to a lack of strict selection standards.
