Well i'm not one of them.

Yeah that's literally 2 clicks from the basest of searches:

(Hokien, Hakka, Matsu and Wuqiu are some of very many southern languages of Chinese, and Formosan is the Austronesian group of languages spoken by indingenous population)

Because they are sucked to the same boot.

It was probably inspired by Egyptian khopesh since it was used in Ethiopia even before the kingdom of Axum. Thing is, the blade is sharp on both sides. So you could either use its inner side as big sickle to reach around enemy shield and try for the weak spots like neck, face or armpits, or if the enemy didn't had a shield you could turn it to outer side and in this case it was similar to Persian shamshir in being excellent weapon against unarmored opponents.

Two more interesting thing about it was 1: the designs varies greatly, most were shorter and wider, the curvature also varied; and 2: it apparently worked quite well considering it has been in use for possibly over 2500 years and some Ethiopian emperors even organised special elite units wielding it.

It do looks longer than it is because of proportions. It's very thin and the handle is pretty short compared to European blades because the blade is also very light so it don't need much counterweight.

Blade is around 1 meter long.

I imagine Russia would

Start a hot war against USA in the central Atlantic? Pentagon would go ballistic, as in "ballistic missiles", and even if the war stayed conventional, Russian navy would be in a huge disadvantage there.

Sword but very curved and yet not very famous (Ethiopian shotel)

During the Cold War there was a chance USSR would intervene. Who would intervene right now?

37 people didn't

They can also use their navy to make a full blockade.
