PSA for projects trying to enter Chinese crypto communities:
Stop opening with "你好 (ni hao)". It's cringe and here's why:
1. "你好" is 1-on-1. If you're addressing a whole community, use "大家好" instead. Basic localization.
2. "Ni hao" screams tourist energy—dragons, pandas, kung fu vibes. It's performative "Chineseness", not actual local speak.
3. For Chinese diaspora, "ni hao" can feel tone-deaf or even carry racist undertones depending on context.
If you're serious about Chinese markets, hire someone who actually knows the culture. Don't just Google Translate your way in.
