Actually even Zhong guo (to use the Communist pronounciation) isn't just "middle kingdom".
Ever heard of Zhong hua?
Or Hua-Ren?
Zhong is actually short for Zhong Hua. In fact, People's Republic of China is actually Zhong HUA Ren-Min...... not "Zhong ren-min".
Zhong guo is a short name for "China", just as Mei guo is a short name for USA. The first time I have ever heard of "China" being referred to as a the "Middle Kingdom" was when we moved to the US from Taiwan :)

Now some of your other comments finally make sense. Awhile back you tried to have the lot of us believe that you were from China, but now you admit that you are actually from Taiwan (just as I suspected).
That would explain why you were so adamant about cold beer being readily available in "China", when in fact it's not (though it is growing more common on the Mainland. Believe me, I know. Aside from living there, I've also been from one end of the country to the other.
As for having ever heard of Zhong Hua...yes, of course I have. My residence permit for China is written as "ÖлªÈËÃñ¹²ºÍ¹ú(Zhonghua renmin gong he guo".
It's interesting that you come from Taiwan and yet you are a shill for the CCP.
