Sino-, China
漢 centers on the Han dynasty and its cultural legacy, giving rise to the broad sense of China or things Chinese.
漢 originally referred to the Han River. The character combines 氵 (water) with a phonetic element that also suggests difficulty or vastness. It later became the name of the Han dynasty and, by extension, China.
The left side 氵 is water, and the right side looks like a complex structure. Picture the vast Han River flowing through ancient China, giving its name to the dynasty and the culture.
For カン, imagine a can of Chinese tea floating on the Han River: can -> カン, and the tea represents China.
