    In case anyone is OOTL, that’s the Chinese word for China, and it can be translated as “middle kingdom” or similar, implying that they are literally in the center of the world.

    It’s a way every culture tends to think about themselves, TBF.

        Ah, my bad. I couldn’t remember it exactly and the Wikipedia article was a bit confusing.
