The “Zhi” in “Zhihei” originates from these people commonly referring to people and things related to China as “Zhi-x”.\r\n\r\n“Zhihei” does not merely criticize specific issues with evidence and reason, but rather exaggerates problems, distorts facts, attributes systemic issues and the crimes of national rulers to the entire population and ethnicity, blames the victims, and publishes hate speech praising criminal acts and genocides against their own ethnic group, supporting racial discrimination against Chinese people. For example, commenting on various criminal cases or random killing incidents in China as “Xianzhong-ed, killed them well,” calling the invading Japanese army during the Nanjing Massacre “old heroes,” and praising the killing of “Zhi-x pigs.”
