John Xina also know as Jiang Xina or Zhong Xina is an exploitable image macro of WWE Wrestler John Cena Photoshopped to look like Chinese communist revolutionary Mao Zedong. Although the phrase "
John Xina" was used on Twitter as early as
2016, it wasn't until May
2021 that image macros associated with the nickname first appeared on Instagram, due to the nickname resurfacing on Twitter in May
2021 because of a viral video of Cena defending China'
s military pressure for reunification with Taiwan.
The joke was spread quickly, other names took place, such as Dwyane 'The Rock' Johnson renamed as The Wok.
This joke was mixed together with chinese memes, such as Social Credit tests and such.
