I wonder what we were thinking when we named Malaysia...

China — Cīna
Cambodia — Kambuja
Indonesia — Indu / Sindhu of Asia
Sri Lanka — Lankā
Nepal — Nepāla
Bhutan — Bhoṭa-anta / Bhotanta (“end of Tibet”)
Myanmar (Burma) — Brahmadesha
Thailand — Śyāmadeśa (“land of the dark/bronze people”)
Malaysia — Mal of Asia
Singapore — Siṃhapura (“lion city”)
Afghanistan — Upa-Ghana / Avagāṇa / Aśvaka (Horses)

We call China - "Kitai". It actually comes from the first contacts on the borders. Some Mongolian tribe was named similar and lived on the northern parts of China.

Also the name China in English comes from Qin dynasty.

Stop lying, dude. India invented everything. Everything originated from India.

Where did anyone say that dumb paki? China was already Cīna in India before it was China in West

To be fair India did invent quite a few things, although probably not near as many as the think.

Nah, according to the ancient vedic, Indians invented the internet and rocket ships and everything. The would've invented more things but the Britishers stole 41 trillion dollars from them.
