The internet has failed today because it can't provide an explanation for what PK stands for. Any ideas? Thanks! :)
Chinese internet slang is full of English acronyms that aren't used a lot by English speakers. MV, PK, PS etc. PK normally means player killer in online gaming forums and on tv shows in Chinese, and often refers to a round, or game, where contestants are playing off against each other. In the case of this sentence, it is less clear, but I guess it is "playing off" imported versus domestic milk (comparing the two).
Great, thanks very much. I asked a friend and she said what you said, that PK is player killer. It makes sense in the context, too. I thought it was referring to some kind of tetra pack milk. I was way off!
