In contexts like this Chinese is often short for Chinese communist. But if that was elaborated then you would accuse people of McCarthyism and being overly hysterical about communism.
- 7Z7 8y agoDo you mean "often short for China the country"? Because otherwise it does sound pretty weird for you to say "Chinese communist".
- RaleyField 8y ago> Do you mean "often short for China the country"? No. You will see people aren't bothered by Taiwan or other far eastern countries, perhaps there's a reason. > pretty weird Maybe English is a weird language. I'm esl so I shouldn't be teaching you.. The reason people don't spell it out is because it is shorter, seems more polite and are afraid of looking like this[0].
