Accelerator-in-Chief (simplified Chinese: 总加速师; traditional Chinese: 總加速師; pinyin: zǒng jiā​sù shī) is a nickname or jargon used by opponents of Chinese leader Xi Jinping, whose internal and foreign policies accelerate/expedite the process of either "bringing China to a strong rivalry with the superpowers", or "the collapse of the CCP". This term is patterned after Architect-in-Chief (Chinese: 总设计师), a commonly-used title for Deng Xiaoping, the Chinese leader who initiated the Reform and Opening of the PRC.[1][2][3]

It became popular in early 2020 on Twitter and is widely used by Chinese dissidents as a slang to express dissatisfaction with censorship and highhand policies.[4] Some users think if the system is beyond repair, instead of opposing or correcting its problems, it is a better choice to accelerate its original course towards demise.[5]
