Xiao riben (Chinese: 小日本; pinyin: xiǎo rìběn) is a derogatory Chinese slang term for the Japanese people or a person of Japanese descent. Literally translated, it means "Japanese runts" or "little Japanese". It is regarded as an ethnic slur.[3][4]
Anti-Japanese demonstrators used the term xiao riben during the 2012 China anti-Japanese demonstrations. On September 18, 2012, anti-Japanese demonstrators held a sign saying "1.3 billion Chinese stamp on the Japanese runts" in front of the Japanese embassy in Beijing.[2] In Taiwan, anti-Japanese demonstrators also held signs that used the phrase xiao riben.[1]
