It is a huge mistake, although it is a very beautiful coincidence. In Chinese, the pronunciation of China is more like tea, which is called Cha if pronounced in Mandarin, and has a history of over 6,000 years.

Teo 2 weeks ago Pleeease do proper scholarly research before producing this video covering such a profound topic as the character of the Chinese nation. Using glib, and somewhat humorous (aka cutesy) trite remarks in the narration, does not make it true. The notion of nationhood to Chinese is that as a civilizational state in accordance to the cultural compass of Confucius' teachings. It does not begin with the conception of the first emperor of Chin, whose dynasty ruled for 3+ years, almost 50% of China's largest geo-boundary extent in the peak years of the Qing dynasty. Although Qin Shi Huang introduced standardisation in measurements for commerce (weights and dimensions), he also burnt books and slaughtered intellectuals. His reign was very short duration, and he's more of a conqueror, like "Alexander the Great" (his full title given by his adversaries was actually "Alexander the Great Idiot" because he is a only a successful militant, not a Stateman), and his actual contribution to the Chinese civilizational statehood is comparatively little. The Chinese civilizational statehood is a product of several dynasties, with significant contributions from the Song, Han, Tang dynasties, but built on the concept of the Confucian notion of the State as a Family, in the vein of it being an extention of the concept of a nation as a family unit - " 国家" (note the word family in the word nation.) 9 William Ho William Ho 2 weeks ago Fortunately he existed.
