Yes, and China is in the middle of the map.

Oh c'mon, I'm still not sure about parent, but you are obviously trolling.

You need to develop some subtlety to be taken seriously.

Actually, I am completely serious. This is the map on display in Chinese schools: http://www.miniharm.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/worldmap....

The map centering is quite okay. After all they'd want to highlight the home country, no big deal.

The troublesome part is coloring land not theirs as theirs in the map as well as labeling India's "hat" as disputed. There ate disputed lands, but not as large as implied.

Crap cultural shock. At least they didn't renumber meridians :)

And it seems that Taiwan is indeed same color as PRC. They really are crazy.
