Etymology
The name of Biden, 拜登 (Bàidēng), reformed into a sarcastic pseudo-Chinese name based on the phrase 振興中華 / 振兴中华 (zhènxīng Zhōnghuá) (Wikipedia). Formed as a counterpart to 川建國 / 川建国 (Chuān Jiànguó, “Trump the Nation-Builder”) around the 2020 United States presidential election on the belief that Biden would be less tough on China compared to Trump.
