A lot of history, especially if it’s written in English, is Euro-centric.

I am sure not a lot of people know about this in China as well, because there is no Chinese character with pinyin “bong”…

True. I find it interesting that the burden for making the transition is often put on the non-native scholar and reader.
China has the resources to popularize their history into the English speaking world by translating histories into English, make visual media in English about their history. (My focus is on English, so I do not know if China has been doing this in other languages.) Japan and South Korea are doing this at successfully, at least in part.
