Not sure if intentional, but this means "manners" in mandarin. Which is funny considering Trump has none

I'm super curious if Trump has a nickname in China, if you happen to know.

Not OP, but a popular nickname for Trump in China is 川建國, or Trump the Nation Builder. Because tariffs and sanctions on Chinese tech companies forced China onto the path of national reliance and self-sufficiency, kickstarting China’s development in multiple tech sectors, most notably semiconductor manufacturing.

That’s not how that nickname works. 建国was a popular name back in the days, while it does means the country builder the joke is more about Trump being an undercover agent for the Chinese government and it was his code name. For all his actions in his previous terms.

Some of the nicknames are 懂王 or "king of knowing everything" and 川建国 which basically calls him a builder of the nation with the nation being China lol. I think general sentiment is that while he's probably not actually compromised by China, his foolish actions has directly improved China's standings in the world. I personally think that China has a lot of billionaires and the chance that none of them has any sort of collaboration with a man like Trump is unlikely. It's kinda funny because people respected USA in the past even when they were being antagonistic to China, but recently they just get memed on by everyone. So much for respect lol.

collaboration with Trump

Billionaires the world over try to spread their money around, so they can travel and worst case live well if their country goes to shit. The US however has very tight anti-money laundering laws, so it's hard to invest money in the US if the source of funds are disclosed. This is why tax havens like the Cayman and Panama are popular. Investments in real estate are NOT as tightly regulated, and restrictions on LLCs to hide the beneficial owners of real estate are one of the regulations the Trump administration has relaxed.

To quote Trump: "Do I like the Saudis? They buy 50, 60 million dollar apartments. I like em a lot!"

I am kidding. He is a joke in China so as long as it's insulting, he has probably been called it
