    Traditionally it means a racist mock depiction of Asian culture and art. What tankies understand as orientalism: When non-Asians talk about what happens in Asia. They think it is like mansplaining or Americansplaining stuff (when people who have no idea about x topic talk about said topic). In short, tankies just simply think they know better and everyone else only makes racist assumptions about China.
