Sons of Heaven

A term that could be used sarcastically to refer to socially powerful Chinese people, particularly those who are corrupt or who are trying to covertly influence other countries. The term can refer to CCP officials, other public figures working (openly or secretly) on behalf of the Chinese government, or even leaders of organized Chinese crime groups, etc.

It’s a reference to “Son of Heaven”, the official title formerly held by the Chinese emperor.

It would be directly analogous to the word “oligarch” used in the context of the post-Soviet world, and implies a similar level of critique. Use of the term would be helpful as it would provide a way to openly criticize Chinese influence in one’s own society without coming across as racist or Sinophobic. That’s because it doesn’t apply to all Chinese people, only the powerful and corrupt ones.
I don’t have anything against ordinary Chinese people, but the Sons of Heaven have FAR too much influence in Hollywood and Washington, D.C., and that’s a real problem.

My ex-girlfriend is from China, and she loathes the Sons of Heaven as much as I do. She’d probably be a political prisoner today if she hadn’t come to America.

I hear people are talking about a possible invasion of Taiwan. Looks like the Sons of Heaven are at it again.

The Sons of Heaven claim they have actually been doing the Tibetans and Uyghurs a favor all these years. Like I’m ever going to believe that.
