Trump’s policies on China are a source of confusion for many Chinese—especially if they only thing they’ve seen is a supercut video of Trump saying “China” over and over. A re-post of the video on Chinese microblogging platform Sina Weibo had garnered over 19,000 retweets as of Wednesday.

“Comrade Trump, your application for the Communist Party membership has been approved!” one Chinese blogger wrote. It is difficult to tell if the comment is sarcasm or praise.

“Trump’s supporting rate from Chinese nationals should be 100 percent,” another blogger commented.

“Don’t get it wrong—this guy doesn’t love China. When he’s making money he’s pro-China, but when he begins to lose money he’s extremely anti-China,” another blogger wrote. Trump, he said, is just a 逗逼—a phrase that literally translated means “funny [female genitalia],” but in meaning is probably closer to “douchebag.”

And to at least some Chinese, Trump’s controversial remarks on gender and immigrants make a lot of sense. In response to the question “Why is Donald Trump getting such high ratings?” on Zhihu, the Quora-like Chinese Q&A site, one blogger wrote:

He is not discriminating against anyone—including the Mexicans and the females. To evict illegal migrants is nothing but normal. To scold them harshly is also reasonable. Just like we don’t want black people in Guangzhou to become the 57th Chinese ethnic group.

Ben Carson and Scott Walker

“This doctor is really saving electricity,” another blogger wrote after watching Ben Carson in an televised interview. “Is there anyone who can focus on his speech? I feel he will put an oxygen bottle on the ground at anytime when he speaks.”

Scott Walker’s plan to build a wall between the US and Canada also didn’t impress the few people in China who took note of it. “If you have that time and effort, first please treat your baldness. To be a president of such a big country, how can you be bald?” another Weibo user wrote.

Jeb Bush

“We will watch a big drama where a son and younger brother of ex-presidents and a wife of another ex-president [are] fighting for the presidency,” a Chinese blogger joked on Zhihu. “Even [Netflix’s TV series] House of Cards doesn’t dare to write that script.”

Since Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton declared their candidacies, Chinese online criticism of U.S. democracy has never ceased, as one widely quoted Sina Weibo blogger wrote earlier:

I heard little sister Hillary announces running for the US president in 2016 and her opponent is little brother [Jeb] Bush. I want to know why a democratic election always selects from two families. Are all the other Americans idiots?

But Bush really hasn’t drawn as much attention from China as Clinton or Trump. He has name recognition because he is the third presidential candidate from the Bush family, but otherwise netizens seem not to care much about him. That’s even true when he talked about “anchor babies” and specifically referred to Asian people. Chinese state media reported what he said, but the remarks drew little notice. What’s more popular is some goofy wordplay on his name on Weibo:

Jeb Bush, Bush Junior’s younger brother, officially announced running for the US president in 2016. After James Bond, Jason Bourne, Joe Biden, Jack Bauer, James Blunt, Jack Black, Jessica Biel, Jonas Brothers, and Justin Bieber, he is another important figure who has an awesome acronym. #JB2016!#

What does it really mean? The initials JB are also the acronym for “ji ba,” a slang word for “penis” in Chinese pinyin.
