mainstream media says it was meant to be thinly critical of Xi since there are censors on Chinese social media, but I just can’t agree with their argument there, because the user who posted the first picture (they drew the artwork themselves) did not say anything about Xi or the CPC.
Possibly later it was picked up by colour revolutionists in China to use against the CPC, but again the MS media doesn’t provide any evidence for this that I’ve seen (apart from maybe one or two screenshots, hardly a trend).
It’s funny that libs say because it originated on Chinese social media, they are allowed to use it too – i.e. it’s not racist because they do it… These are the people that really, really, want to use the n-word.
