and if you look at the Arabs countries... you've got no chance.

And if you speak an Asian language, you should see what the european and north american countries are called. This summer at the Beijing Olympics, the countries will march in the order of the Chinese Alphabet... that'll be really messed up!
Maybe its just me, but when I hear Zhonghua, I am inclined to think Taiwan. China I would associate with just "ZhongGuo" (forgive me, I'm not a native mandarin speaker)

But indeed, the countries will be messed up with the Chinese "Alphabet"
