Cantonese-covered Japanese song is one of the examples. The emergence and diffusion of local culture across borders brings new impacts to both places.

Moreover, this also discusses on the mechanisms for the traits of the flow of cultural goods into different nation, as well as local perspectives on the nature of foreign culture such as language, music, movie ; creative talent or entertainment industry.
