Chinlupai

The Namorese term Chinlupai (Tzishin: Чинлупаи; Tzihan: 亲卢派; literally "pro-Luziyca faction") is a denotation of Namorese who sympathize with Luziyca. "Chinlupai" has been used since the end of the 19th century. Depending on the historical era, the term was either used in a positive or a negative connotation, although most of the time it carried a negative connotation due to Namor's historically cold relations with Luziyca.

History

From the First Namo-Luziycan War to the start of the Second Great War, Namorese who took part in the signing of the Treaty of Tatra or supported the Luziycan political model were branded as Chinlupai. Within the Republican Party of Namor, there was a significant Chinlupai faction that favored the East Luziycan political and economic systems, as opposed to the "Chinjopai (pro-Chorean)" faction which favored imperial Chorea. The Chinlupai was said to have triumphed over the Chinjopai in the onset of the Chorean invasion of Namor.

Chinlupai became a derogatory term with the coming to power of the Liberationist Party of Namor, which East Luziyca refused to recognize. It was initially used to describe anti-Liberationist elements (particularly the clergy) in the northwestern region of Txotai, who received support from Luziyca, although it was not used often. This changed during the Green Fever, when top party officials were accused of being Chinlupai and purged. A law passed by the Namorese Central Council in NMR 2307 declared all Chinlupai, defined as "anyone who sympathizes with the east Luziycan imperialist regime," to be enemies of the people. The law was later repealed in NMR 2320 although the government continued to clamp on on what it considered to be subversive activities backed by East Luziyca. Many of those branded as Chinlupai during the Green Fever had no ties with Luziyca whatsoever, and were subsequently rehabilitated following the end of the Fever.

Domestic critics of the Third Namo-Luziycan War were criticized as Chinlupai by the media, which largely supported the war effort. A few deemed Chinlupai were prosecuted for opposing the war and accused of supporting the Luziycan government.

Modern Chinlupai

Leftist commentators have described the New Democratic Party as the "Modern Chinlupai," due to many of its politicians favoring detente with Luziyca. The term was first coined by pro-Liberationist newspaper The Liberator, which published an editorial criticizing Fu's detente policy: "The Modern Chinlupai is clearly more dedicated to serving Luziycan geopolitical interests than the interests of the Namorese people." Some prominent politicians who are considered leaders of this "faction" include President-General Fu Wen and Vice President Derrick Lee. This term is almost never used by rightist politicians or supporters of the NDP, as it bears a negative connotation. Lee himself argued that the term is "inappropriate" because it gives the impression that anybody who supports rapprochement with Luziyca is therefore supportive of Luziycan domestic and foreign policies, which he called "a misleading generalization."

Politicians in Nantai who favor not just staying under Luziycan rule but also favoring a Luziycan identity, namely Chief Executive Kung Alicia, are called "Nantai Chinlupai" by mainstream Namorese media and government officials, whereas those who favor reunification with Namor or Namorese identity as considered "Nantai Aigukpai (Nantai patriots)."
