[quote=GUEST56228,311613]In my opinion, "go China", "come on China", "be stronger China" and "China, fight!" don't really capture the meaning. 中国 => China 加 => add 油 => gas The term 加油 is used to encourage people to put a little more gas in the engine and step up their efforts. So 中国加油 means something closer to "persevere through effort, China"! It's a bit scary to hear so many young people mindlessly chanting it, but the mantra's meaning is pretty harmless. [/quote]
