politically Chinese

Term used by Hongkonger/Taiwanese/whomever finds it applicable, to answer the question "Are you Chinese?" or its variants asked by Westerners in hope of preventing unnecessary misunderstandings and ultimately the heat death of the universe.

American : "Hey man nice to meet ya, you Japanese Korean or Chinese?"

Hongkonger : "I am politically Chinese."

American : "Bruh what?"

HongKonger : "Basically I can read, write, and speak Chinese, like Chinese food, enjoy most types of Chinese art, but detest the bullshit dished out by the CCP nowadays to the point I generally don't want to call myself Chinese even though doing so would be politically correct hence the name. However I am pretty certain if I answered that I am a Hongkonger you are going to ask "So are you Chinese or not?" "Can you speak Chinese or not?" anyways, and create a paradox that is going to rip through time and space, accelerating particles to beyond the speed of light and resulting in immediate heat death of the universe."
