Accelerator-in-Chief (simplified Chinese:总加速师;traditional Chinese:總加速師;pinyin:zǒng jiāsù shī) is a nickname or jargon used by opponents ofGeneral Secretary of the Chinese Communist PartyXi Jinping, whose internal and foreign policiesaccelerate/expedite the process of either "bringing China to a strong rivalry with the superpowers", or "the collapse of the CCP". This term is patterned afterArchitect-in-Chief (Chinese:总设计师), a commonly used title forDeng Xiaoping, the Chinese leader who initiated theReform and Opening of the PRC.[1][2][3]
It became popular in early 2020 on Twitter and is widely used byChinese dissidents as a slang to express dissatisfaction withcensorship and highhand policies.[4] Some users think if the system is beyond repair, instead of opposing or correcting its problems, it is a better choice to accelerate its original course towards demise.[5]
