看到一段介绍，内容如下：
china - To most people China is the country with the largest population in the world, but to a South African it can mean something entirely different. China means good friend, as in "This oke's my china". It's one of the few Cockney rhyming slang words to survive in the country, coming from "china plate" = "mate".
大意是说china这个词在南非人的眼里可能会有完全不同的含义。比如说在“This oke's my china”这句话里面，china表示好朋友。这是口头语的说法，并非正式英语。其来源是英国的伦敦方言（Cockney）的一句押韵俚语，即用china plate（瓷器碟子）表示mate（伙伴）。如"Alright me old china?" （Alright my old mate?）
