五毛 (wǔ máo): fifty cents

[[File:fifty cent.jpg|400px|thumb|left|''Grass-mud horse shown on the fifty-cent bill.'']] Netizens first coined the term “Fifty Cent Party” to refer to [http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2010/08/an-inside-look-at-a-50-cent-party-meeting/ undercover Internet commentators] who were paid by the government to sway public opinion (“fifty cents” is a reference to the alleged pay received per post). Now the term is used to describe anyone who actively and publicly posts opinions online that defend or support government policy. As such, the so-called Fifty Cent Party has become the object of much scorn. See [http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2010/02/han-han-fifty-cent-party-must-work-overtime/ this post by Han Han], this comical account of the [http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2010/06/fifty-cent-party-member/ birth of a fifty center], and this satirical “[http://chinadigitaltimes.net/2010/02/the-fifty-cents-party-training-manual/ training manual]” for Fifty Cent Party members.
