Historical evolution

In 2017, the term "white left" also entered the mainstream attention of the West and triggered a "carnival" among netizens. "Urban Dictionary", an English online dictionary that collects Internet terms, has included the word "Bai Zuo", and the English translation is the Chinese pinyin of these two words.

The entry roughly reads: Baizuo (pronounced by`tswaw) is a Chinese term that refers to some naive Western highly educated people who support peace and equality but are simply To satisfy one's own sense of moral superiority.

The white left only cares about immigration, ethnic minorities, LGBT and environmental issues. Chinese people regard the white left as arrogant Westerners who pity the rest of the world as a savior.

On March 19, 2021, Tucker Carlson, the right-wing Fox News host who has always supported Trump, used poor pronunciation to introduce this Chinese Internet term to the audience. While using this word to exaggerate the threat from China, he also used it to criticize the policies of the Biden administration and the Democratic Party.
