      Ngl I did too at first. But I was sceptical because Kingston sounds like a British bourgeois suburb rather than a chinese company (and upon my research I found out that both of my prejudice claims turned out to be true since Kingston upon Thames is literally a Royal London district where “some Saxon kings were crowned” - Wikipedia 💀). I didn’t think it was impossible, but rather unlikely.

        I get connotations of Jamaica (of course the name Kingston imposed on them by their former colonial oppressors), rather than association with Britain.
