China will name and shame artists who lip-synch or engage in other "fake" acts at commercial concerts, with repeat offenders getting their performing licenses revoked, local media reported on Thursday, citing the Ministry of Culture.
The Culture Ministry was seeking public opinion on a draft amendment to existing legislation on commercial performances that would ban lip-synching, the Beijing News said.
"Performers must not cheat audiences by lip-synching, and concert organizers must not arrange for performers to lip-synch," a draft amendment posted on the ministry's website said.
The names of performers caught lip-synching would be released to the public, and those caught twice in a year would have their performing licenses canceled, the paper said.
The draft also placed the onus on concert organizers to "dispatch personnel for supervision, to guard against lip-synching from happening."
