Hello Children,
Hermit the Harmonious Dragonfly: Hej Kinakännaren
even in places as remote as a country named Sweden, a barbarian country in the back of beyond which to my knowledge never had tributary relations with us, there are now China experts (中国专家 or 中国通). They are usually referred to as
in that place. kina känna ren is indeed Swedish and translates China knowing people.
But some bad elements in Sweden may also translate kinakänna ren as Panda-Huggers School or jättepanda kram ren (拥抱熊猫派). Of course, in our much older language, we would rather call them han jian (汉奸), if they weren’t in fact kina känna ren.
