hé xié 合鞋
Homonym for harmonious (héxié 和谐) and river crab (héxiè 河蟹); derived from a speech Xi Jinping delivered in 2013 in which he compared different countries' "paths to development" to different sizes of shoes—tailored to that country, not one-size-fits-all.
On his first trip abroad as China's president, Xi Jinping delivered a speech at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations on March 23, 2013. Xi called for cooperation between Russia and China, emphasizing the two nations' shared interests in peace and stability and countering international criticism of China's "developmental path":
We maintain that every country and its people ought to be respected. We must insist that countries are treated equally, regardless of size, might, and wealth. We must respect the right of each country's people to choose their own developmental path. We must oppose interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, and defend international impartiality and justice. "Only the wearer knows if the shoe fits." As for whether a country's developmental path fits, only the people of that country have the right to say.
我们主张，各国和各国人民应该共同享受尊严。要坚持国家不分大小、强弱、贫富一律平等，尊重各国人民自主选择发展道路的权利，反对干涉别国内政，维护国际公平正义。“鞋子合不合脚，自己穿了才知道。”一个国家的发展道路合不合适，只有这个国家的人民才最有发言权。[Chinese]
On Weibo, netizens quickly took Xi to task, noting that they have little say in China's development. No matter how small or uncomfortable the "shoe," ordinary Chinese can't ask for one that truly fits. Commentator Wuyue Sanren wrote:

Photoshopped images and cartoons of tattered shoes appeared on Weibo and other social media sites soon after the speech.
Over time, "fitting shoe" has been verbalized to "shoe-fit," an alternate writing of "harmonize," itself a euphemism for censorship. For instance, a photo of an income receipt for a retired cadre is accompanied by these words:
JohnnieWalker_qiangneiban (@JohnnieWalker_墙内版): #FromG+ From Weibo. It's already been shoe-fitted.
#FromG+# 来自微博，已被合鞋。(August 20, 2015) [Chinese]
