Runri: Chinese People 'Run' to Japan Under XI's Regime [Chinese]

By 舛友 雄大

Among the popular slang terms circulating among Chinese netizens, "run" refers to the act of choosing to flee China for various reasons in pursuit of a better life. In Chinese semantics, 'run' originally carries connotations of profit and a comfortable, well-nourished existence. Coincidentally, its Mandarin pinyin spelling--r, u, n--forms a double entendre with the English word "run" (as in escape). Amidst China's recent turmoil--including COVID lockdowns, economic downturns, and global instability--increasing numbers are choosing to "run" during this "historical garbage time." This trend has even spawned "Runology" and its manifesto, The Runology Manifesto, which disseminates its ideology and tactical guidelines.
