And when was the People's Republic of China founded? Perhaps they don't teach this in China but the nation-state is a relatively new concept which emerged from the West. Else, it was always civilizations.
Not true. Ancient Egypt existed as dynasties from 3000BC to 20 BC for 3000 years. So an ancient Egyptian kingdom state existed as a singular unit for almost 3000 years with few disruption. China also has an continuous empire for over 2000 years. India has various kingdoms in the subcontinent and was not unified except for maybe 150 years back in 200BC. So India has many kingdoms just like Western Europe. So Western Europe has the western civilization. India has the Indian civilization. But Indian civilization was unified by the British into a nation state. Western Europe didn't have this fortunate event so they are still trying to come together.
