China is a market where EDM had initially made relatively few inroads; although promoters believed that the mostly instrumental music would remove a metaphorical language barrier, the growth of EDM in China was hampered by the lack of a prominent rave culture in the country as in other regions, as well as the popularity of domestic Chinese pop over foreign artists.
Cina adalah pasar di mana EDM awalnya dibuat relatif sedikit terobosan; meskipun promotor percaya bahwa sebagian besar musik instrumental akan menghapus metafora hambatan bahasa, pertumbuhan EDM di Cina terhambat oleh kurangnya menonjol rave budaya di negeri ini seperti di daerah lain, serta popularitas domestik pop Cina dari seniman asing.
