In celebration of Chinese New Year, I am offering up จีน.com in a one-time auction.

จีน is the short form of "China" in Thai script. The longer one being the more official "ประเทศจีน" which means, "Country of China" or "Peoples Republic of China".

It is also used as the short form for "Chinese language", and many other things "Chinese":

So "Chinese movies" would be "หนัง จีน" etc.

"จีน" gets about 53,000,000 google mentions compared with only around 3,500,000 for "ประเทศจีน"

No need to point out the the dominance of China globally, but many will be surprised to learn how influential the Chinese community is in Thailand:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai_Chinese

"Thai Chinese consist of people of full or partial Chinese ancestry – particularly Han Chinese. Thailand is home to the largest overseas Chinese community in the world with a population of approximately nine million people, accounting for 14 percent of the Thai population as of 2012. It is also the oldest, most prominent, and best integrated overseas Chinese community. "

And in particular, how Thai-Chinese dominate Thai business:

"Of the 25 leading entrepreneurs in the Thai business sector, 23 are ethnic Chinese or of partial Chinese origin. Thai Chinese also control 96 percent of Thailand's 70 most powerful business groups"

China is also Thailand's largest export partner.
