Was this unit really date "from the European colonial times"? I was under the impression that it was a traditional Chinese unit. Ironfrost 12:55, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
It may be true that its origin is 'Malaya', but the unit was widely used in South-East Asia, until the advent of the metric system. -- Novelty ( talk) 05:24, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
that no one in China actually calls this the "市斤" any more than Americans measure distances by "international miles". It's just the "jin" in both Chinese and in English expat use. Not sure how you'd go about proving that it's fully replaced "catty", however: too many other Jins are going to get in the way of the search results. — LlywelynII 14:49, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
The PRIMARYTOPIC of "catty", though. Passive aggression is. — LlywelynII 14:52, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

I changed the introduction, to try to clarify that 斤 is simply the Chinese name for this unit, read a jin in Chinese (or kin in Japanese, or similar in Korean). Several Chinese units, which were used (with varying values!) across the Sinosphere, in CJK, had Malay names, by which they were known in the West. I'm not sure the new wording is ideal, so welcome suggestions... Imaginatorium ( talk) 13:24, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
