Baizuo (Chinese: 白左, literally "White left(ies)") is a derogatory Chinese epithet that came into being in the middle 2010s. The word received attention in Germany where it was seen as criticizing the immigration policies of Angela Merkel. Baizuo is used as an insult amongst Chinese netizens.
The word baizuo is, according to political scientist Zhang Chenchen, a Chinese word that ridicules Western "liberal elites". The term has also been used to refer to perceived double standards of the Western media, such as the alleged bias on reporting about Islamist attacks in Xinjiang.
Zhang Chenchen further described the term as referring to "People who only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment" and "have no sense of real problems in the real world"; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to "satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority"; they are "obsessed with political correctness" to the extent that they "tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism"; they believe in the welfare state that "benefits only the idle and the free riders"; they are the "ignorant and arrogant westerners" who "pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours".
