Why do you seldom hear the word "politician" in China?

Baidu knows or looks it up in the dictionary. The word "politician" is neutral in foreign countries and derogatory in China. The reason for this difference is that in foreign countries, people think that it is beyond reproach to make a living by engaging in political activities, while in China, people generally think that it is problematic to make a living by engaging in political activities.

In addition, the dictionary interprets the word "guest" as "a person who runs around and engages in certain activities: talking ~" Zheng ~. Summer ~. "'Running around' is not in line with the actual image of most of our government workers.
