higo

The pronunciation of "hi" and "go" sounds similar to Mandarin 海狗 (hǎigǒu, “dogs of [Huawei] Navy”), a derogatory slang term for 海軍／海军 (hǎijūn), "[Huawei] Navy." The latter was itself a sarcastic escalation of the generic term 水軍／水军 (shuǐjūn, “water army”), a highly organized and aggressive group of online commentators. The term 水軍／水军 (shuǐjūn) is a shortened version of the original phrase 網絡水軍／网络水军 (wǎngluò shuǐjūn, “internet water army”) , which described organized groups of people paid to post large amounts of content online for marketing or public relations purposes. This concept traces its origin back to the earliest days of Chinese internet forums and the act of 灌水 (guànshuǐ), which literally means "to pour water," describing the practice of posting large volumes of meaningless or nonsensical content that dilutes valuable discussion.
