- xandrius 1y agoThe name of China in Chinese is middle/central kindgom and there are maps with different areas being at the centre, so yep.
- olalonde 1y agoThey still do. Took those pictures a few days ago in China: https://gist.github.com/olalonde/d293e54c46143c3dd905da4c0ebc4703 https://gist.github.com/olalonde/d293e54c46143c3dd905da4c0eb...
- kccqzy 1y agoThat's a Pacific-centered map not a China-centered map. You can buy these in the U.S. too; I'm sure the people of Hawaii would prefer these. https://www.natgeomaps.com/re-world-classic-pacific-centered https://www.natgeomaps.com/re-world-classic-pacific-centered or https://www.natgeomaps.com/re-world-executive-pacific-centered https://www.natgeomaps.com/re-world-executive-pacific-center...
