Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: - The first character usually means “middle” but can also mean “China". The second character translates to “country” or also “kingdom” and it’s part of many country names.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Chinese word for China fuses two characters, (zhōng) meaning middle or central, and (guó) meaning kingdom or country. Together, these characters form : Middle Kingdom. China’s maps and, arguably, much of its sense of its history and its place in the world can be deduced from these two characters.
Detailed explanation-3: -Chinese consumers did not show a high level of ethnocentrism, and this may lead to inconsistencies in their WTP for organic labels.
