Chinese netizens' rap song “Nike H&M” go viral with sharp lyrics

A rap song attacking brands that ban Xinjiang cotton based on fabrications of "forced labor" in the region, with sharp lyrics such as “the demons think there are demons all around” went viral on Chinese social media on Saturday, earning applause from Chinese netizens. 

The song titled “Nike H&M” puts the names of the two famous brands together because they sound like the Chinese words 你nǐ可kě荒huāng谬miù for “you are so ridiculous.”  

Lyrics such as “once you think you cannot exploit China, you will attack China with ‘freedom,’” “bite the hand that feeds you” and “self-proclaimed defenders of human rights, but rape them again and again” have become favorites of netizens.

Lots of netizens praised the song for igniting their enthusiasm to stand more firmly with their motherland and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.

The translator of the lyrics told on Sunday that he spent 40 minutes finishing the translation.

“We must fight back in a way that they can understand. Eating dirt will not earn us understanding but will only further intensify things, so we have to fight back,” the translator noted, adding that he considers himself just one speck of dust among a huge number of patriotic netizens.
