Songs by household names in China including Chang Csun Yuk and Stanley Huang were also on the list. 5 tracks by the Taiwanese singer Chang Csun Yuk made the list, including 'I love Taiwanese Girls', with the line “I don’t like Chinese women, I love Taiwanese girls”, and 'Fart', which includes “There are some people in the world who like farting while doing nothing,” reports [The Guardian](http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/aug/11/china-bans-fart-and-119-other-immoral-songs-with-severe-punishment-threat?ref=hypebot.com). "No unit or individual is allowed to provide \[these songs\]," said the statement which also promised severe punishment for failing to comply, according to official Chinese news agency Xinhua. The ministry says it will update the list regularly.
