In #ChineseCulture the numbers #666 aren't seen as sign of devil/evil, it's seen as a positive symbol.

(If you spot “666” in an English horror movie, you might shrink back, thanks to its long-standing link to evil. But if you see it in a Chinese gamer’s chat or a teen’s social media post? Grab the popcorn—they’re complimenting someone! That’s the wild cross-cultural twist of 666 Chinese slang: what feels spooky in the West is pure hype in China. Far from a dark symbol, “666” (pronounced “liù liù liù”) is one of the most popular ways to say “awesome,” “smooth,” or “impressive” online. Let’s with WuKong Education unpack why this number went from “devil’s number” to “vibe check win.”)

@rlstone4dems Most folks in Global North are only familiar with the devil connection to 666. It's good to learn about how other cultures see those numbers.
