Zhing-zhong

Zhing-zhong (simplified Chinese: 精装; traditional Chinese: 精裝; pinyin: jīngzhuāng) is a Zimbabwean slang word meaning low cost, Asian (mostly Chinese) consumer products of poor quality. The word gained traction in Zimbabwe during the 2000s when an influx of Chinese merchants and storekeepers imported consumer products into Zimbabwe. Zhing Zhong is a synonym to the South African word Fon Kong. Ironically, the original Chinese word (精装) means "deluxe" and is often used in Chinese advertisements.
