China Watcher 

A China Watcher is someone who portrays themself as an authority on Chinese politics. China Watchers almost always identify as "Western," but in reality they are just white or boba liberal. Common activities of a China Watcher include making hypocritical orientalist statements about China or Chinese people, writing articles based on Google translated Chinese sources, or making stuff up when there are no sources at all. A feature of China Watchers is that the more prolific they are, the less meaningful academic or real life experience on China or Chinese subjects they have. As a result, despite their claimed expertise, many China Watchers cannot speak or read Chinese, have never worked in China, lived in China, been to China, or even read a peer-reviewed article on Chinese history or politics in their own native language. Unfortunately China Watchers view their lack of experience with pride, so there is no hope of correcting their defects, which is probably why all their opinions on China are complete nonsense.
This virus is God's punishment on China, which shall bring back manufacturing to America, and cast a blight on these heathen communists so great that all shall convert to democracy, proving the superiority of Western society.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
