Because the Middle Kingdom is in the middle of the Chinese map. Just as North America is at the top of the North American map. "Ethnocentrism," I believe the textbooks call it -- and we can fill in the blank for whatever ethnos it happens to be, wherever it happens to be.

Just the way of the world, I guess. Not such a bad thing -- so long as we're able and willing to acknowledge it for what it is.
