I forgot to point out that there were a few people who thought that the term "Demo" was misleading and thought that there were more appropriate words to describe it. While I agree that "demo" might not be best and think that "sample" is better, people need to realize that Chinese developers and fans are NOT on the same page as the West. From what I'm witnessing, the devs refer to demos as "demonstrating the voice in some way, shape or form" and it's posted on an official account for all the public to see. What they would consider a "sample" or "teaser" is a work in progress song or a snippet of something to come (like Ling's Scarlet Drop sample that was revealed the day before the full version was uploaded). A sample could also be something that is shown privately to others or raw/acapella clip (The Xin Hua clips that were shown privately to a small group of people. They were raw and acapella). A "teaser" is also some form of advertisement or "commercial" without giving away the final result or the whole final result (the Stardust cameo in the bilibili New Year Gala of 2016, Tianyi's advertisement for the Science Expo concert). So no matter how you're going to try to peg this, the Chinese developers and fans see these terms a little differently than us. If they say it's a demo, then it's a demo for them.
