The title "Po County" was first popular among students studying in Singapore from Chinese mainland, and then uploaded to the Internet, causing resonance and love among netizens, and it spread, just like netizens using "Wanwan" to refer to Taiwan, "Po County" has become synonymous with Singapore's Internet.
It seems that I haven't heard too many complaints from Taiwanese netizens about "Wanwan", but in Singapore, its netizens reacted very much to "Po County", thinking that Chinese netizens regard Singapore as a county, which is quite dwarf and contemptuous, and even thinks that it is impolite. Lianhe Zaobao published an article titled "Po County" Can Be Closed", which is a representative expression of Singaporeans' displeasure with this appellation. It also reminds domestic netizens to think differently, how do you feel if foreigners call Chinese in a ridiculous way?
Chinese netizens don't think there's anything wrong. "Po County" and "Wanwan" are all very affectionate names, and there is no malice, which is very characteristic of the Internet era. Moreover, it is only referred to in an informal setting, for convenience. It is characterized by the fact that it comes and goes quickly, and perhaps the epidemic cycle has passed before the debate is over.
Personally, I think Singaporeans do have a bit of an allergic reaction. The title of "Po County" is still different from "Ah San" and "Stick", which also reflects the difference in the degree of closeness and preference of netizens.
But since you don't like it, I shouldn't call it to face, netizens talk about it, what should be called, this is the real Internet. If you want to call it the official name of the country, go to the United Nations.
