    Where’s “here”? I’m in the UK and only discovered that there had been a specific saying, in (Soviet) Russia, about (contemporaneous) China, very recently. Maybe it was a joke I wasn’t privy to or heard but was too young to appreciate at the time.

    (As to how I discovered it recently: I had been looking for a name or “law” for the concept of constantly making vague or empty threats - it’s kind of like crying wolf, but not - and somehow ended up the Wikipedia article on “China’s final warning”.)
