This classic Chinese idiom (兔死狗烹) describes how loyal servants or tools — especially the most useful and faithful ones — are often discarded, or even eliminated, once they have served their purpose. The hunter no longer needs the dog after the prey is caught, so the dog itself becomes expendable.
Modern Relevance:
Today, this idiom perfectly applies to the wumaos (五毛党) and other online regime defenders. They enthusiastically attack critics, spread propaganda, and defend the Party line while they are still useful. But history shows that once the regime achieves its objectives , or when political winds shift , these same loyal “hunting dogs” are frequently cast aside, silenced, purged, or even turned into scapegoats.
Their usefulness has an expiration date, and loyalty offers no protection when the rabbit is already dead.
