From BBC News:
Two Chinese singers have become the first in the country to be fined under laws banning lip-synching.
Fang Ziyuan and Yin Youcan were fined 50,000 Yuan (£4,760) after they were caught miming at a concert in Chengdu.
The pair say they were “only” backing singers and will struggle to pay the fine to cultural authorities.
The law was introduced in the wake of the 2008 Beijing Olympics after a girl deemed prettier mimed to vocals performed by another child.
