Hurting the Feelings of China

Hurting the feelings of the Chinese people "Hurting the feelings of the Chinese people" (simplified Chinese: 伤害中国人民的感情; traditional Chinese: 傷害中國人民的感情; pinyin: shānghài Zhōngguó rénmín de gǎnqíng) is a political catchphrase used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China, in addition to Chinese state media organisations and Chinese Communist Party-affiliated newspapers such as the People's Daily, China Daily and Xinhua News Agency to express dissatisfaction or condemnation against the words, actions or policies of a person, organisation, or government that are perceived to be of an adversarial nature towards China, through the adoption of an argumentum ad populum position against the condemned target. Alternative forms of the catchphrase include "hurting the feelings of 1.3 billion people" (simplified Chinese: 伤害13亿人民感情; traditional Chinese: 傷害13億人民感情) and "hurting the feelings of the Chinese race" (simplified Chinese: 伤害中华民族的感情; traditional Chinese: 傷害中華民族的感情) Contents Origin Phraseology Criticism Headquarters building of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Chaoyang District, Beijing.

A dark-mode screenshot of a Wikipedia article titled “Hurting the feelings of the Chinese people.” The joke is that a lengthy, formal article explains a recurring Chinese diplomatic catchphrase used to condemn criticism or perceived offenses against China, making the phrase itself look humorously overused and bureaucratic. It is shared as a reaction to exaggerated outrage, censorship, or official-sounding complaints.
