Paper tiger

''Paper tiger'' is a literal English translation of the Chinese phrase ''zhilaohu'' (紙老虎). The term refers to something that seems threatening but is ineffectual and unable to withstand challenge. The expression became well known in the West as a slogan used by Mao Zedong's Chinese communist state against its opponents, particularly the U.S. government.
==Etymology==
"Paper tiger" was an ancient phrase used in Chinese culture. It was translated into English in a work by John Francis Davis before 1836.
