Whenever I'm asked what in the hell an SJW is, so many things come to mind that I feel at a loss for words; I would have a hard time describing that term in three or four breaths, with much angry ranting included. The description provided in this article to the Chinese term "baizuo" is short and to the point:

Although the emphasis varies, baizuo is used generally to describe those who “only care about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment” and “have no sense of real problems in the real world”; they are hypocritical humanitarians who advocate for peace and equality only to “satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority”; they are “obsessed with political correctness” to the extent that they “tolerate backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism”; they believe in the welfare state that “benefits only the idle and the free riders”; they are the “ignorant and arrogant westerners” who “pity the rest of the world and think they are saviours”.

Beautiful.

the Chinese have a lot of problems, but one of them is not rabid leftism

according to a thread on a question-and-answer site called Zhihu, which claims to have a high percentage of Chinese professionals and intellectuals, the term means what people here call “social justice warriors,” “regressive left” or “libtard”:

Hahahah.
