Every time I see a "US eagle" with a speech balloon...

Well, when a bald eagle is depicted on TV, it's usually "dubbed" by a hawk. I'd recommend anybody to search what those eagles actually sound like, so you can laugh too.

For the lazy: they sound like goofy confused seagulls.

If I don't search, I can keep imagining a clown car horn.

Cat tax? Mistranslation, or just something I'm missing?

A lot of Americans were asking what they need to do to be welcomed, and Chinese users replied asking for pictures of our cats, this evolved into "cat tax".

Cat tax has been a thing for years and years.
