Ok but this video is sick. I would not expect something on this level of taste from the Chinese side.

I hate loan translations of Chinese concepts (and other words) so much. I cringe every time I see ""involution"" instead of juan or neijuan.

赢学 is yingxue, not "winology"

Oh yes it's actually a very legit discussion. The use of calques vs transliterations is quite important for soft power

I am quite extremist with regards to this. Let me grab you my list

• 卷/内卷 is juan/neijuan, not involution
• 法宝 is fabao, not magic weapon
• 饺子 is jiaozi, not dumplings
• 小笼包 is xiaolongbao, not soup dumplings
• 烧烤 is shaokao, not Chinese bbq / Chinese skewers
• 杀手锏 is shashoujian, not assassin's mace
• 拉面 is lamian, not hand pulled noodles
• 美图 is meitu, not "beautifying image"
• 富二代 is fuerdai, not "second generation rich"
• 太子党 is taizidang, not "princeling"

I think the use of transliterations will increase as China grows, and perhaps we won't be at the stage I prefer for a while. But ideally in the long run it's what I envision.

I've actually seen jiaozi used. Rare, but I've seen it.

Yes, and he had Mixue right after

This whole trip has been a giant China soft power boost. Unironically "Chinamaxxing". Time feels different than 2017

Within like six hours of Jensen drinking Mixue to wash the 豆汁 taste out of his mouth they came out with this:

"Mixue's liquid cooling solution"

Taiwanese local politician under investigation for travelling to mainland in March last year to watch Nezha 2:



Nezha 2 proven once again to be a seditious movie. Which okay, fair enough was in fact the message of the movie.
