In China, the terms "yǔhángyuán" (宇航员, "person flight in universe") or "hángtiānyuán" (航天员, "spaceflight person") have long been used for astronauts. The phrase "tàikōng rén" (太空人, "space person") is often used in Taiwan and Hong Kong. Official English texts issued by the government of the People's Republic of China use astronaut while texts in Russian use космонавт (kosmonavt).[14][15] The term taikonaut is used by some English-language news media organizations for professional space travelers from China. [16] The word has featured in the Longman and Oxford English dictionaries, the latter of which describes it as "a hybrid of the Chinese term taikong (space) and the Greek naut (traveller), or astronaut". Chen Lin, a linguistics professor at the Beijing Foreign Studies University described the word's recognition as "another sign of China's growing global influence".[citation needed] Taikonaut was coined in 1988 when China started training astronauts and became more common in 2003 when China sent its first astronaut Yang Liwei into space aboard the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft. [17]

(if I translated that horribly written shit-o-pedia mess correctly, then I think i'm pointing out that both terms are used, sometimes?)

I was watching the Chinese spacewalk broadcast on the Beijing subway today (on every LCD TV they have pinned up in the stations and on every subway car). Crowds of people were gathered in the subway terminals watching the whole thing. BTW, their subway system is so much more advanced than anything I've seen in North America. We're the backward shithole country now! Scared?
