I am Chinese, I read the original, I do not know why the translator will translate it into the China Continent, it means the Middle-earth Continent or the Central Continent.

Maybe the author is ok and the translator is the nationalistic one? lel

very nationalistic(like the novel: swallowed star) kind of annoying though b/c the audience is so diverse now, including not only the Chinese

The name 'China' means 'Middle Kingdom' if translated literally, the problem is context. If you chain reasoning, then China can actually mean 'Middle Earth', so it will depend on the context and how you want to translate the word. Something like 'A fly that was flying around landed on my fly'. Same word but many possible meanings.

The earth is round.... there is no center continent. All continents are on middle earth. The continent isn't in the middle of the earth unless it's underground. Maybe you have a problem with the meaning of the words that these translates into? The Chinese continent makes more sense than the others put forth since without context they could describe either none or all of the continents.

But what about the plot, the translations can and will change a bit but the important thing is the plot!

中国 was the name of China back when it was much smaller. They believed they were the center of the Earth, geographically, not knowing about places outside of Asia. The south and north of China were not yet part of the Chinese territory. So to them, at that time, the name made sense, and it never changed. This goes back hundreds of years ago.
