Chinese folk singer Sa Dingding, who once won the BBC Radio 3 Award for World Music, has been criticized for lip-syncing during her performance on CCTV's Lantern Festival evening gala held on Monday.

Shortly after Sa's performance, a short video clip of the performance went viral on the Internet.

In the clip she's seen holding her microphone upside-down while her voice can still be heard clearly. Seconds later, the singer quickly turns the microphone around and continues with the performance.

The singer later mocked herself on her Sina Weibo account, posting that she would try harder to hide her lip-syncing next time.

The scandal has also led to criticism of State-owned CCTV for allowing the recorded performance to take place
