How does #amusia work in cultures with tonal languages? (Any #linguistics folks know? This must have been studied.)

If as many people were truly “tone deaf” as claim to be, and if the proportion were the same in China, then there’d be at least a hundred million Chinese people unable to speak intelligibly or understand speech well. So it must be either much less common or much less of an obstacle.
