Green Dam Youth Escort

Weird: OK, Chinese software installed. Where to?
Smart: Let’s search for Falun Gong.
Green Dam Girl: [instantly appearing] Ew! Yucky! But I’ll save you!
Weird: [instantly leering] You can save me harder than that.
Green Dam Girl: Ick, you too? [She paints him vigorously with soy sauce.]
Weird: Ub—wha?
Smart: Hmm, it’s not a cover-up. I think you’re being disinfected.
Green Dam Girl: There, peace and harmony.
Weird: Do you have duck sauce too?
Green Dam Girl: I’ll protect you no matter what. I’m always watching!
Weird: Wow, kinda hot. Who needs Ceiling Cat?

clue:

Green Dam Girl often carries a bucket of paint, to paint over the bad spots on the web, or of soy sauce, which is generously considered a disinfectant.

The censorship software’s name, “Green Dam Youth Escort,” is ambiguous in English.

give me a clue so sweet and true
