Phrase originated in the Singaporean army, when many soldiers and sergeants had problems pronouncing English words properly, during the 60s to 90s. When the men laughed at the sergeants, they would respond by saying: "I'm Chinese educated." Unfortunately, their poor pronunciation resulted in 'Chinese educated' sounding like 'Chinese helicopter'. In present day, could be used to refer to Chinese from the mainland when they immigrate to other countries. Usually a derogatory term.
