The Australian examines China’s limited cheering vocabulary:
Chinese supporters in every arena have just one chant: “Jia You!” (Go on!). It literally means “add oil”
Even the official English language newspaper China Daily admits being cheesed off with this same chant:
“Stalwart supporters are conscious of their limited scope of vocal encouragement,” it said.
“Chinese fans have generally found coming up with new cheers and slogans a challenge during the country’s biggest ever sporting event.”
