The meaning behind the name "China"
Did you know? The Chinese name for China is called "Zhōng Guó" (中国), which literally translates into “Middle Kingdom”.

First used almost 3,000 years ago during the Zhou Dynasty (1066-771 BC), the name reflected their ancient worldview that China was at the center of the world.

The name is so apt that even centuries later today, the name has not changed.

Downtown arena plan gets final approval Downtown Sacramento is now all but certain to see its most radical change since the state capital was established, with the City Council approving a series of 7-2 votes for a new arena to be built on the eastern half of Downtown Plaza . Numerous council members and speakers described the vote as historic and laced with significance, not only for keeping the Sacramento Kings in the city for several more decades, but spurring sizable new development and redevelopment in the city core. “I've never been prouder of my colleagues, never been prouder of city staff, never been prouder of my community,” said Mayor Kevin Johnson , describing how so far, the discussion centered on keeping the Kings and not growing from it. “Tomorrow is the first day of a new journey.” Other council members had similar sentiments, from those who recalled attending events at the city's first Kings arena on Market Street in 1985 to others who said they eagerly a...
