U.S. Embassy in China Swoops In With Eagle Stickers on WeChat
On January 30, the U.S. Embassy in China released a playful set of 16
bald eagle-themed stickers
on China’s main messaging app WeChat.
Nicknamed ‘Little American Eagle,’ the emotive figure is inspired by America’s national bird, the
bald eagle
or Haliaeetus leucocephalus.
WeChat stickers are essentially small
gif
or
png
files that users employ like
emojis
.
The said stickers convey a
broad range of emotions
.
One simply says ‘
chillax
’ (淡定).
Another timely one features a bundled-up bird and reads, ‘
happy winter
’ (冬季快乐).
The zen-like eagle above serves to remind everyone to ‘
stay calm
’ (保持冷静).
As one Twitter user wrote, “
U.S. taxpayers
funded this, which is
incredible
to think about.”
