      Well, I guess we could make memes about Xi Jinping removing his own term limits, being elected by 98% of congress (somebody was absent), burning down temples, sending troops to quell protests, filling in the sea, splattering harmful rocket fuel and sometimes parts from booster engines across populated areas, attacking Philippine fishing boats, or the concentration camps. Idk. Seem kind of in poor taste. Except for filling in the sea, thats got potential.

      How about a meme about homeless people who have assigned homes outside of the district they live and work in.

    Perhaps memes as a form of criticism of socioeconomic structures headed by authoritarianism is only something dumbasses maoists do?

    Nah, what am I saying, everything and anything can and should be made fun of.

    With the amount of criticisms Chinese EVs recieve; I’m surprised it hasn’t turned into a meme of similar nature.

      If they’re so awful, why do we need aggressive tarrifs to keep them off of American streets? I don’t think anyone was making people buy them over domestic alternatives…

      (muffled sounds of discord)

      WTF?! Xi Jinping himself busted down my front door, grabbed my debit card, and put down a deposit on a new BYD. And what’s worse, he picked one in that really insipid grey that you can never find in a parking lot.
