wumao + comment
The modifier 'wumao' is a culture-specific loanword (Chinese pinyin) whose socio-political sense (paid/organized pro-government commenters) is not an obvious compositional meaning and is not listed in the provided dictionary entry. Even a learner who knows the word 'comment' and the phonological token 'wumao' would not be able to infer the coordinated/paid pro-government implication from the constituents alone, so the overall meaning is not derivable from the parts.
Etymology
Wumao comment comes from the Chinese word wumao, which literally means 'fifty cents' and comes from a common story that people were paid small amounts to post pro-government messages online. So today wumao comment means an online comment that supports the government and is often paid or organized.
