China Heatwave Hits Friend

A friend returned from Beijing, asking us if we've been to China during summer.

"No dude, only in autumn or winter. How was it?"

"Beijing was filled with Han people."

Duh. Isn't it filled with Han Chinese all year round?

According to Wikipedia, Han Chinese constitute about 96% of the population of the PRC (and 9^% of Beijing).

"I meant
汗人(Han Ren), not 汉人(Han Ren). Damn smelly."

Orhhh...

Hot and Sweaty Smelly Man (above)

汉人 = Han Chinese; an ethnic group native to China and, by most modern definitions, the largest single ethnic group in the world.
汗人 = Sweaty people; a perspiring group.
