Cina or Caina

Cina or Caina

From Neraca

The state television (TVRI) has been pronouncing Cina (China) as Caina lately. The TVRI newscaster sometimes makes a slip of tongue and says Cina instead of Caina.

The public may wonder why Cina should become Caina. The term Cina has in fact been used for decades here without causing any problems in society. Or is it because Indonesia has reestablished diplomatic relations with China that the pronunciation has been changed to Caina?
