神奇的国度 (shénqí de guódù): mystical country
China, a country which, to Chinese netizens, seems to defy the laws of nature.
Remarking on egregiously illogical or ironic situations, netizens often explain that China must be a mystical country. Examples from a BBS forum [Chinese]:
We truly live in a mystical country; we can own our houses but the land upon which they sit forever belongs to the state!
[...] This country is poor but also generous, always willing to pour vast sums into Africa.
[...] Pornographic publications are illegal, but sex shops are everywhere. (August 5, 2009)
这是一个神奇的国度！ 该国房子可以是自己的，但土地永远是国家的！
[...] 该国很穷，却很慷慨，经常有大手笔支援非洲。
[...] 黄色刊物属于非法，但性用品商店到处都是。[Source]
Commenting on Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign, which claims to bring bureaucratic “tigers and flies” to account, 段贵发 asks, “Doesn’t this mystical country get the joke?”
