The Chi Coms were never known for catchy names.
You aught to see how they handle personnel problems.

It’s probably a translation thing, they were probably shooting for “Pinnacle”
pinnacle • \PIN-ih-kul\ • noun. 1 : an upright architectural formation generally ending in a small spire 2 : a structure or formation suggesting a pinnacle; specifically : a lofty peak 3 : the highest point of development or achievement : acme. Examples: Winning the national championship was the pinnacle of his career. .

The North Star is also know as the Pole Star. It's in a position of true north for the next few thousand years. Got a friend who recently bought a new Volvo, doesn't like me asking how his Chinese car is working out.

How did you find a picture of a pole dancer with cloths on???

Another example:

Becoming a PoleStar was the pinnacle of her whole life.

Started as a private race shop that built Volvos for the touring cups in the mid 90s. Volvo eventually bought it in 2015
