Can't find anything for "anthrocene" Perhaps the Chinese only use the sanctioned term??

The word “anthropocene” combines the root “anthropo”, meaning “human,” with the root “-cene”, the standard geological suffix for “epoch.” The term was first used in 2000 by the Nobel Prize winning atmospheric chemist Paul Crutzen, who regards the influence of human behavior on the Earth’s atmospheric, geologic, hydrologic, biospheric, and other earth system processes in recent centuries to be so significant as to constitute a new geological era. While the terms “Anthrocene” and “Homogenocene” were also proposed to describe this new age, the use of the term Anthropocene was sanctioned by Jan Zalasiewicz, who heads the Stratigraphic Commission of the Geological Society, when he published the first proposal for the formal adoption of the Anthropocene epoch by geologists in 2008.
