The time has come to seriously weigh a Hillary Clinton presidency against a Donald Trump one—even in China.

Both candidates dominated Super Tuesday. At last count, Donald Trump won six of the 11 states voting in the Republican polls, while Hillary Clinton took seven of the 11 states voting for their Democratic nominee.

Chinese state media is closely following the US presidential election, although it is sometimes hard to tell whether that is to give readers more knowledge about the voting process or to mock it. A newspaper affiliated with the Chinese army wrote (link in Chinese) ahead of Super Tuesday results: ”Whether Trump becomes a joke, or lets the American democratic elections become a joke, let us wait and see.”

China’s internet users, most of the time, view Trump as a joke. He is nicknamed “Chuanpu,” an abbreviation of “Sichuan Putonghua,” which means “Mandarin with a Sichuan accent.” This is simply because “Trump” and “Chuanpu” sound somewhat similar (the second pronunciation here). The localization has become a reason to support Trump, Weibo users joke.

Li Delin:

In order to promote our Sichuan Putonghua, I support this doubi to be the US president to endorse Chuanpu.

“Doubi,” is online slang that literally means “funny (female genitalia),” but is closer in meaning to “funny douchebag.”

In other cases, Trump is also called 唐床破, or Tang Chuangpo. This is a translation of Donald Trump into a Chinese name with “Tang” (it sounds similar to Don-) as a surname and “Chuangpo” (like “Chuanpu,” it sounds similar to Trump) as a given name. In literal meaning, “Chuangpo” means “bed broken.”

Wang Shiyu Katrina:

Much hope Tang Chuangpo to win the election! After that international news will be as fascinating as crosstalk comedies! Isn’t Tang Chuangpo a live Eric Cartman? #Trump2016

(Plenty of China’s internet users watch South Park, the animated series. It is officially distributed on streaming portal Sohu.)

At a first glance, Trump should be the last candidate China wants to see as the next US president, thanks to his hateful, inaccurate anti-China speeches. If elected, and if Trump turns his words into reality, the US will add a huge tariff to Chinese imports and take millions of low-skilled factory jobs back from China.

But Clinton is an incredibly unwelcome figure in China, and widely expected to be a tougher president to negotiate with. Her “Pivot to Asia” strategy as Barack Obama’s Secretary of State was deemed a potential threat to China’s influence in the region. After she left the position, her memoirs touched on China’s censorship, and she openly criticized the country’s detention of five female feminists—moves likely to have irritated Beijing.

“Hillary or Trump, who is more unfavorable to China?” asked Hong Kong-based Phoenix Television (link in Chinese) on Monday (Mar. 1) on Weibo. Judging from the comments from mainland Chinese netizens, most are in favor of a Trump presidency because they believe China’s global influence could suffer more under Clinton. Though they hate both of them, they fear Clinton more.

Here’s a few responses:
