Are you Chinsumer or antizen? (3)

"Halfyuan" refers to online commentators reported to be hired by groups, companies or even some officials to post online. They got the name after reports that they were paid half a yuan for each post.

"Antizen" refers to graduates who move to large cities like Shanghai to find work. Most such citizens live in small rented houses, earn low salaries and are constantly on the move to find better jobs - inviting a comparison to ants.

Many netizens have begun to create their own English words.

"All I can do after reading those buzzwords is 'smilence,' as I keep smiling and silent" was one comment.

Gu Xiaoming, a sociologist and professor at Fudan University, said the creation and use such buzzwords was common these days. But he warned about their effect on the proper use of English and said that they could upset some people with their negative connotations of Chinese life.
