The argument here is completely illogical and frankly pretty racist.
You assert the Chinese have a broad cultural trend of laziness or poor work ethic, and your only supporting argument is that a word exists in the language? A word that roughly translates to “meh”, or “who cares” in English?
If only it were that easy to instil cultural values. Want to get rid of rape culture? Just get rid of the word “rape”.
