Niang pao
Niang pao (Chinese: 娘炮) is a derogatory Chinese term for some men that can be translated as "sissy". The Chinese Communist Party used the term in a 2018 Xinhua item intended to show its preference for the portrayal of virile Chinese men on the Internet.[1] The term was used again in a 2021 edict covering television portayal of men.[2] The Guardian noted Chinese television programs Youth With You and Produce 101 as examples that were targeted.[3]
