Because for thousands of years it was considered a leading civilization. Civilization in China is meant to have developed thousands of years earlier than western civilizations. The view of foreigners by the Chinese civilization was that they were all barbarians and uncivilized. The Mandarin name China, Zhongguo, means 'The center of the world,' which was certainly how they did (and debatably still do) think of themselves.
The sinocentric model operated like so:
China was at the center
Bordering countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Korea etc were tributary states/first or second class barbarians. They offered tribute to China and kept it shielded from the full on barbarians.
From this point of view, it's easy to see why the Chinese saw themselves as the center of the world. They were, they were the center of their world. The Sinocentric model was never challenged until the European powers appeared on the shores of China.

There is no such Chinese saying. #1. Pound is not a Chinese unit of measurement. #2. A unit of weight in silk can't possibly command the same unit of weight in gold. That doesn't even make sense. #3. Chinese people are not stupid, they do not say idiotic things like that. I think you heard it from a carpet seller.

The definition of the word 'superiority' is "Displaying a sense of being better than others" or "The state of being superior". A good example would be when someone is trying to make people feel they are of a lower standard to themselves so as to have superiority or power over them.
