Chung Kuo
China's history can be tracked back over 3,500 years, making it the oldest living civilization. The ancient Chinese called their land Chung Kuo or "middle country"
The Chinese thought that the Europeans were barbarians who were worst than the Manchurians and the Mongolians who were also barbarians in the eyes of the Chinese. Europeans had to bow down to the Chinese when they wanted to trade with the Chinese. The Chinese however did not abuse their power on the Europeans because the Chinese saw themselves as the "Middle Kingdom" and believed that all other nations and people in the world will eventually adopt the Chinese ways. The Chinese don't shove their culture down other people's throats. I would say that the Chinese thinking was arrogance and vanity at its best.Source: Prelude to Opium War Qing DynastyThe Chinese thought that the Europeans were barbarians
I believe that the Chinese swearing finger is the pinkie.
i think trading increased by the middle kingdom used them as a resourse.
Original Answer(Just so you guys can see): Middle Kingdom My answer: Though many people may think that china's nickname is middle kingdom, I would strongly disagree. Though the name literally translates to middle kingdom (Zhong(中) -> Middle, Guo(国)-> Kingdom, for a total of Zhong Guo(中国), which is China), Nobody nicknames china like that. They call what is literally called middle kingdom in chinese, china. However, there are a few nicknames for china that stand for their national pride. They are as such: 华夏 (pronounced Hua Xia) and 神州 (Pronounced Sheng Zhou) which can mean divine, or if broken up Godly States (or provinces since it is china). Feel free to add more nicknames!! I hope that I have not confuse any of you guys :) -Jason (I am Chinese by the way!)
i think they were imprisoned because of what they believed in and couldnt stand up for themselves.

the africans would have bloody diarrhea on themselves and be sick on themselves and using the toilet on themselves but the worst I think would be to the africans is the wiping.
