Chinese Wheelie?

I don’t have any pictures of this but I witnessed one of the most intriguing conversations between two kids last night. I’m walking to my car and outside is two boys (probably around 6 years old) one kids on a bike (pink, no less) and the other is walking. The following is their conversation:

Kid w/o Bike: Let me ride the bike.
Kid w/Bike: No.
Kid w/o Bike: I can do a Wheelie.
Kid w/Bike: So, I can do a Chinese Wheelie.

What the hell is a Chinese Wheelie? Is it really that different than a good old fashion American Wheelie? I looked it up online and found this:

(endo) 1. shorten slang for “end over” 2. A stunt to thrill the fans, performed when a rider applies a lot of front brake and positions his body to stand the motorcycle on only its front wheel as it comes to a halt. Also known as a nose wheelie. Synonyms Nose wheelie, Chinese wheelie, Stoppie.
