<< review queue entry 65913 - submitted by 'monigeria' >> Used frequently. · Wikipedia: https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-cn/%E8%87%AA%E4%B9%BE%E4%BA%94 · Wiktionary: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E8%87%AA%E4%B9%BE%E4%BA%94#Chinese Etymology Short for 自帶乾糧的五毛／自带干粮的五毛 (zìdài gānliáng de wǔmáo, “shill who brings their own provisions”). 自乾五 (neologism, derogatory) unpaid, voluntary Internet political commentators and trolls supporting the Communist Party of China --------------------------------- Editor: I'm not sure that this term is necessarily derogatory, as Wiktionary asserts. Consider this, for example: 中国的网络空间要清朗起来，需要更多的“自干五”站出来，引导人们自觉做良好道德风尚的建设者，做社会文明进步的推动者。 http://politics.people.com.cn/n/2014/1115/c1001-26030890.html Therefore I'm not sure "propagandist" is quite appropriate in the definition. |
