The Name of My Country Is Not 'China" I know that my country is famous for its procelain,yeah,thank you but the name of my country is not 'china". The name of my motherland is "中国"，"中" means centre,"国" means country,so "中国" means "The country in the centre of the world".I'm proud because my country once had the most brilliant civilization in the world,but unluckily it had been controlled by those barbarous nomad tribes from north... :( It was around 18th century,Europeans came to this country and found a curious town where procelain was made,they were so eager to learn the technique and finally established a business relationship~~~~~~the town was called "chang nan"~~but at that time those white men were not good at learning Mandarin,lol,so they dubbed this country "china",which means...procelain. People still call us Chinese,well,the government doesn't give a shit to this nick name cuz it's just a name,right? Okay,according to this logic,Japan should be called "Porns" since they are sooooooooo good at making them~~Russia should not be called Russia,it should be called "Vodka" or "Balalaika",as for USA,it should be named as "United States of Retarded Troublemakers",Britain should be called "Gloomy Protestants" and Germany "The Hometown of Nazi". China???What the hell is "China"????? You tell me please. In fact,those foreigners in China are not sooooooo welcomed,cuz they never get the idea of respecting different cultures,they are like :"I'm a white man!!!!My skin is so god-damned WHITE"~~~They are so retarded as to judge people by the colour of skin,lol!!! "That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet",laughed Shakespeare in his grave.

@Marc the part about the color of the skin was a replys to Hadiya who did mention it (my reply was addressed to both of you). I did not write an empty politically correct comment. I've been living in England for 6 years now, andI've seen what we call "Chavs" here. Those are disliked in the country and sure enough, they don't get personnality transplant when they go abroard, so they will be despised for trashing the place and acting like they are the cool cats. It's a mentality that cross natlionalities. In Quebec (Canada) they come under the name "BS". I'm sure if you look honestly, you'll find them in your country too.

@Hadiya: You might like reading anything by stand-up comedian George Carlin, who did was is sometimes described as "black comedy." Some things are so absurd that if you don't laugh at them you will cry.

The Middle Kingdowm was not called China in the old days. It was called Cathay. If you really want to know all the nitty gritty details of your country which does not even have a name! Know your history before writing something like this. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_China

Oh sure....! Caroline you come again with the cliche view. Together with a raised index finger ..The political correct, out of the tin, answer, and the safe answer since many think like that and you cannot go wrong with that. But it does have to do with nationality, and culture. I never even mentioned the color of skin, but this is again part of the save and correct rewritten answer. The thing is, people of different culture have different habits. No...not all have the same homogenous behavior, but there is a general average statistical modus. They just collide sometimes. It is not the fault of the member of one culture not the fault of the member of the other culture, it is just a fact. The only fault is, that there are people that say we should cover up everything since otherwise we are racists. That everybody should be friends, and all culture should mix, and we all are equal. 'Alle Menschen werden Bruder.' And everybody who would every think out of this box, is evil....

@Marc & Hadiya : there are obnoxious selfish arrogant people everywhere. It has nothing to do with nationality or color of skin. It may come as a surprise to you, but those tourists despised abroad are probably despised in their own country too.
