The Sinologist is the Asian studies academic equivalent of the Great White Hunter, those foreigners in China who think they are the only ones who hold the keys to the Magic Kingdom of speaking Chinese and “understanding China” - usually the kind of people who are fond of dishing out the Laowai Death Stare.
The “Foreign Sinologists” shelves in bookstores these days seem to be filled with writings of foreign scholars who connect their particular field of research to some notion of contemporary Chinese culture.
I believe the OP was pointing out that the British woman was describing her short time in China either as a tourist or an”English Teacher” as serious academic research.

 GENESIS-China
A recent article by an American Sinologist Ethel Nelson in an Australian-based creationist magazine (1) suggests that an analysis of Chinese written characters shores up the accounts of the origin of man and his fall into sin as recorded in the biblical account of Genesis.
On the face of it, this may well be credible because the unique, non-alphabetic Chinese written language with its intriguing pictograms and ideograms is the oldest written one still in continuous use.
It is also worth noting that the British Sinologist E.T.C. Werner wrote that a legend of a great flood was traced to Lieh Zi, a Taoist who lived in the 5th century BC; he told of a legend of one Nu Wa or Nu Kua who repaired the heavens after a great flood.

 When atheist Hu meets proudly religious Bush - Boston.com
Such moves, however symbolic, may provide Hu with a list of concessions on religion with which to temper U.S. complaints during his tour, analysts said.
China has sought to control religion, but not outright stifle it in a society where an ideological vacuum has spawned official corruption and eroded ethics in the post-Mao Zedong era.
But in the face of rising unrest -- 87,000 public order disturbances last year -- China has no qualms about crushing any challenge to its rule, banning the Falun Gong spiritual movement as a cult in 1999 and jailing thousands of its adherents.

Among the reasons widely cited for the Sino-Soviet split is the case of Marshal Peng Teh-huai, Red China's former Minister of Defense.
As reported by Sinologist David Charles in the China Quarterly of London, the story of the marshal's fall from grace is considered generally plausible by Western experts, if perhaps questionable in some details.
A tough old soldier who defected from the Kuomintang and fought alongside Mao Tse-tung during the famed Long March in the '30s, Peng was the leader of the conservative faction of the Chinese politburo.

 Nobel Prize in Literature 1981 - Press Release
It is an aspect of key importance when Die Blendung is regarded by several critics as a single fundamental metaphor for the threat exercised by the "mass man" within ourselves.
Close at hand is the viewpoint from which the novel stands out as a study of a type of man who isolates himself in self-sufficient specialization - here, the sinologist Peter Kien surrounded by his many books - only to succumb helplessly in a world of ruthlessly harsh realities.
Die Blendung leads over to the big examination of the origin, composition and reaction patterns of the mass movements which Canetti, after decades of research and study, published with Masse und Macht (Crowds and Power, 1960).

Actually, since the days of Genghis Khan and his kin, whose world conquest was the big news of the 13th century, Mongolia just hasn't been home base to anything world-threatening or even modestly irritating enough to grab the global spotlight.
Lest I had overlooked some potentially newsmaking bit of wickedness, however, I phoned a friend, University of Pennsylvania sinologist Arthur Waldron, who takes a strong interest in such matters.
Mongolia, with its largely Buddhist population, has a small Muslim minority, but as far as we know it harbors no lethally militant political or religious movements.

Sir William Henry Wilkinson (1858 - 1930), was a British Sinologist who served as British consul in China and Korea and who wrote articles and books on Chinese games.

Finally, here is an interesting piece of information about someone named W.H. Wilkinson of London, England, at this period in history - who may or may not be the Sinologist who wrote articles and books on Chinese games:
