Usage notes

• Generally used by Chinese netizens to retort against ultranationalistic commentators who tend to use the bureaucratic term 我國／我国 (wǒguó, “our country; our China”) in a patriotic context, and also as a way to express their dissenting stance and disdain towards the country's ruling communist regime, with the first-person pronoun 我 (wǒ, “I; our”) replaced by the second-person pronoun 你 (nǐ, “you; your”) to express alienness to the China as extolled by those commentators.
• It should be noted that nationalist Chinese netizens would find this term profoundly offensive.

Derived terms

• 你國藥丸／你国药丸
