Patriotraitor

爱国贼 (ài guó zéi): "Patriotraitor"

This term is a play on the word "traitor" (卖国贼, mài guó zéi). A patriotraitor is someone who betrays their country's interests while outwardly professing to be a patriot. Another related term is shit youth. Both terms are used by netizens to pejoratively refer to people who are perceived as being uncritically nationalistic. However, a patriotraitor differs from a shit youth in that a patriotraitor has more of an ulterior motive and his/her demostration of patriotism is more for show.

所谓“爱国贼”是指打着爱国旗号危害国家和人民利益的人

Cai Mingchao is a prominent art dealer who defaulted in his 31.5 million Euro commitment to purchase two bronze animal heads taken from the Ming Summer Palace. He claimed that he defaulted out of a sense of patriotism. Others sensed an ulterior motive. See, here (Chinese & English).

Two beggars curse those that criticize China. The irony of the cartoon is that they blame other countries but do not blame the country in which they live that is perhaps most directly responsible for their plight.
