Three men make a tiger (argumentum ad populum)
- Everyone else is involved in the war effort, so you should help too.
- 50 million Elvis fans cant be wrong
- Bandwagon effect
The first one is a (WW I) poster along the lines of “everyone is helping in the war efforts, why aren’t you?”. The second one is “50 million Elvis fans can’t be all wrong”. I don’t know the third one, but the idea seems to be that of argumentum ad populum, a concept in logic – it means if a lot of people believes in something, it has to be right.
Can’t see the Chinese connection.
Argumentum ad populum (if many people believe something, it must be true).
Chinese proverb: Three men make a tiger.
