Usage notes
- Generally used by Chinese netizens to retort against ultranationalistic commentators who tend to use the bureaucratic term 我國／我国 (wǒguó, “our country; our China”) in a patriotic context, and also as a way to express their dissenting stance and disdain towards the country's ruling communist regime, with the first-person pronoun 我 (wǒ, “I; our”) replaced by the second-person pronoun 你 (nǐ, “you; your”) to express alienness to the China as extolled by those commentators.[1]
- It should be noted that nationalist Chinese netizens would find this term profoundly offensive.
