The '50 Cent Party' (Wumao) meme refers to the colloquial term for internet commentators allegedly hired by the Chinese government to manipulate public opinion. The name originates from the claim that these individuals are paid 50 cents (0.50 RMB) for every pro-government post they make. In meme culture, it is used to mock people who appear to be shilling for a cause, defending controversial political stances, or engaging in suspicious online arguments for personal gain. It often depicts users typing furiously at keyboards while being rewarded with tiny amounts of money, symbolizing the perceived low value of their manufactured opinions.
