A reference to the [[Great Firewall of China]] used in several subversive netizen-created terms. 

In Mandarin, "wall" (qiáng 墙) sounds the same as the word "strong" (qiáng 强). The character for "strong" is a [https://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=worddict&wdrst=0&wdqb=%E5%BC%BA* component in a number of Chinese words]. To make reference to the [[Great Firewall of China]], netizens often substitute the character for "strong" with the character for "wall." 

A common example is the netizen term "[[wall nation]]" (qiángguó 墙国), which plays on the phrase "mighty nation" (qiángguó 墙国) often used in official rhetoric portraying China's rise to its rightful place as a strong global power. Other terms include "[[Wall Nation Forum]]" (Qiángguó Lùntán 墙国论坛), used to mock overly-nationalistic web users and deriving from a popular state-run media BBS; "[[wall-rape]]" (qiángjiān 强奸), a reference to the effect the Great Firewall has on sensitive overseas websites; and "[[scale the wall]]" (fān qiáng 翻墙), which is what savvy netizens must do if they wish to access a page blocked by domestic censors.
