The phrase, “thanks to the country” became a popular Internet expression after speed skater Zhou Yang (周洋) won the 1,500 meter event in the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. After winning the event, Zhou thanked her parents but failed to thank her country. This lapse was criticized by Yu Zaiqing, Deputy Director of the National Sports Bureau. Yu said that she should have first thanked her country. Heeding his advice, Zhou held a do-over news conference in which she first thanked her country and then secondly thanked her parents and coaches.

In modern internet usage, “thanks to the country” is an ironic or sarcastic phrase implying that the “thanks” was forced or was not merited. It can be used after mentioning an action taken by the state with only minor benefits and substantial losses or costs. For example, “The world should really thank the country for spending USD 58 billion on such a great World Expo,” or “Kim Jung-Il should really thank the country for showing him such a good time while he’s in China.” It can also be used when the government takes small measures to address a problem that the government caused in the first place. For example, “I have to thank my country for ending the Cultural Revolution.”

"Write 'thanks to the leaders' 10,000 times... no, "Thanks to the country!!'" (artist unknown)

Forced praise for the Chinese Party-state. Originates from a controversy over remarks by Olympic gold medalist Zhou Yang.

In February 2010, Chinese speed skater Zhou Yang won the 1,500 meter event at the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. She thanked her parents for their support at a press conference following her win. Yu Zaiqing, Deputy Director of the National Sports Bureau, criticized her for not first thanking her country. Netizens and state media alike balked at Yu's callousness. The entry about him on Baidu Baike was altered to say that he had "no mother and no father" and was "raised by the Communist Party." As of November 2017, the first paragraph of the Baike entry describes the 2010 controversy, later noting that he was removed from his position at the National Sports Bureau in September 2011.
