Little Pink is a term commonly used to describe jingoistic young Chinese nationalists on the internet. The 3D printed armies in the Little Pink project are cloned to resemble the modern imperial mechanism used to create homogeneity among people, with the purpose of protecting the power of People's Republic of China's leader Xi Jinping and exerting threats towards Taiwan's sovereignty. Using the form of the Terracotta Armies of Qin Shi Huang, considered the first Emperor of China, the project aims to draw connections between the historical tyrant and the current leader of China. Xi Jinping, who resembles an emperor, abolished presidential term limits in 2017, allowing him to serve as president for a lifetime. Qin Shi Huang was remembered for his work of "Unifying China" - a term also used by Xi Jinping to justify China's territorial ambitions, including Taiwan.
