Last Friday it was announced that Beijing would host the 2022 Winter Olympics, making it the first city to host both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

Ten official songs have been released by China for the Winter Olympics, but one song in particular is drawing attention for all the wrong reasons.

'Bing Xue Wu Dong', which translates as 'The Snow and Ice Dance' sounds extremely like the Disney hit 'Let It Go' from the animated classic Frozen.

'Let It Go'

A number of comments relating their likeness have been left on YouTube including one user JoeBlo2 saying,

"0:00 - 1:13 2:10 - 2:48 These parts are lifted straight from 'Let it Go'"

and another called sunynite saying,

"I'm not surprised. This is what the Chinese do best, copy cat EVERYTHING ..."

It didn't take long before a mashup of the two songs was uploaded to YouTube.

The song was written by Zhao Zhao an accomplished songwriter who has yet to comment.
