Chi-Nice" is a colloquial term originating from Indonesia, used to humorously refer to Indonesian friends of Chinese descent called "Cindo". The term is a play on words, combining "chi" from China and "nice" to convey a positive meaning, sounding like a playful alteration of the word "Chinese". It emerged as a response to the numerous negative incidents and stereotypes surrounding the exclusivity and perceived difficulty of Cindo integrating with the native Indonesian population. The term was introduced on the YouTube show "Kebanting," aired on January 28, 2024, by the YouTube channel "Uuskamukita."
