@MalachiTheProgrammer there are many explanations, but one that convinces me is that Kangxi was one of the most famous and longest serving Emperors who had a lot of trade with Persia along the Silk Road who referred to Qing as Xin or Sheen or Sheena. With trade Greeks also called it Sheena or Kina.

@sinbach Wow, fancy the Greeks and Persians doing that. Qing to China
