Tips

history
From Mao Zedong's 1963 ci 《满江红·和郭沫若同志》, written during the Sino-Soviet polemics. The closing stretch reads 一万年太久只争朝夕试看天下谁能敌 (Ten thousand years is too long, seize the day and hour. Just see who in all the world can rival us). It voices a defiant, world-conquering revolutionary spirit.
usage
The last three characters 谁能敌 work as a rhetorical question - meaning no one can rival us. Highly colloquial in tone, it is used in sports, business, and tech-competition contexts, and carries an official, propaganda-flavored ring.
