A Stock Phrase used by non-Asians to be racist against the Chinese, and, due to Interchangeable Asian Cultures, other Asians as well. Not to be confused with Ching-Chang-Chong, the usual German name of the game Rock–Paper–Scissors.note Incidentally, one of the Cantonese names for the game 猜程尋 is pronounced like "chai ching chum".
Naturally, since the phrase is a racist insult, this is largely seen as a Discredited Trope, unless if used in a Dude, Not Funny! context. In fact, a lot of Asian-Americans consider this to be on par with the N-word. Subtrope of As Long as It Sounds Foreign for the Chinese language. See also El Spanish "-o", for the arguably Spanish equivalent of this trope.

The Colbert Report: Daniel Snyder (owner of the Washington Redskins sports team) attempted to make amends to Native Americans by starting a charity, but the name of that charity contained "Redskins," which is commonly seen as an epithet against Native Americans. In response, Stephen announced he was launching "The Ching-Chong Ding-Dong Foundation for Sensitivity to Orientals or Whatever" for Asians. Although people who actually saw the bit on television were less likely to complain, a staffer for the show tweeted the joke and put the context in one tweet, then the joke in another. Naturally, the second tweet spread far and wide without the context, along with calls to "#CancelColbert." The joke originally aired on a Thursday, then caught fire on Twitter on Friday. The next Monday, Colbert apologized.

In The School for Good Mothers Frida, the only Asian out of about 200 women, tries to discourage the other mothers from gossiping about her ex-roommate, who just quit (in the orientation, they were warned that gossiping was against the rules, and they are constantly being recorded). In response, she gets harassed and called "an uptight Chinese bitch". One of the white mothers makes ching-chong noises in her ear.

Lucky Luke: One Rantanplan story has the Daltons hide in a Chinatown, having mugged passing Chinese people for their clothes, with William saying "ching chang choing". When they meet the head of the local triad, he says it referring to Rantanplan (who's set to become the owner of most of Chinatown's buildings), with the triad head telling him he agrees with William (even if he'd never stoop to using such vulgar language).

This has been said in Game Grumps as a form of Refuge in Audacity to poke fun at racism instead of actually being racist (or their brand of "accent humor.")

Minari: A white girl comes up to Anne at a church social, says "Stop me when I say something in Korean," and actually starts off with "Ching chong" before babbling a lot of other nonsense. But when Anne tells her that she actually said the Korean word for "aunt", the white girl is thrilled.

Mastermind: When the Mastermind starts blowing up cities with his Doomlaser, he bids "adios" to Madrid and "auf Wiedersehen" to Berlin. When he gets to Hong Kong, he awkwardly stammers out "ching chong cheng" before giving up and asking if any of his minions speak Chinese.

The French dub of Futurama replaced the (relatively good) Cantonese swearing of Amy Wong from the English dub into this trope, a dark mark on an otherwise good dub.
