too simple, sometimes naive

A Chinese web phrase broadly used by college students to describe someone with immature mindset of democracy and western value standard. Originally used by former president Jiang Zeming(aka. Jiang the frog) to chide Hongkong journalists which are allegedly more athletic and always run faster than western journalists.

"Oh I really would like to live in a country with democracy!"
"Yeah you can go Africa there are tons of democratic countries there, you can pick your own president before you get shot"
"Guess I was being too simple, sometimes naive."
