rdf:langString Little Pink (simplified Chinese: 小粉红; traditional Chinese: 小粉紅; pinyin: xiǎo fěnhóng) or Pinkie is a term used to describe young jingoistic Chinese nationalists on the internet. The term Little Pink originated on the website (晋江文学城), when a group of users kept strongly criticizing people who published posts containing negative news about China. Within Jinjiang Literature City, this group became known as the "Jinjiang Girl Group Concerned for the Country", or the Little Pink, which is the main color of the website's front page. The Little Pink are different from members of the 50 Cent Party or Internet Water Army, as the Little Pink are not paid. In terms of demographics, according to Zhuang Pinghui of South China Morning Post, 83% of the Little Pink are female, with most of them between 18 and 24 years old. More than half of the Little Pink are from third- and fourth-tier cities in China. They are primarily active on social media sites banned in China such as Twitter and Instagram. Many of the Little Pink are Chinese students studying abroad in countries which do not block access to those sites. They have been compared to the Red Guards of the cultural revolution. In the first days of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Little Pink drew international attention for their role in contributing to the mostly pro-war, pro-Putin sentiments on the Chinese internet.
