How come this idea become popular among other nations?
China saw everyone that weren't Hua as Barbarians, what made other Nations decided to accept this worldview?
I do know that different rulers did not see themselves as barbarians and claimed themselves Equals of the Chinese Emperor, and that they were as civilized as China.(While the rest was Barbarians, except China <3)
Yet they tried hard as they could to adopt Chinese customs, goverment and culture just to claim that equal footing, if not claim the title "little brother of China" or "little China".
Why would any elites allowed themselves to be cucked, and why did no one claim superiority over China? And no, "WE ARE THE TRUE SUCCESSOR OF CHINESE CIVILIZATION" does not count as an act of superiority, espesially when you remove the claim when a new Chinese "Han" Dynasty emerges
Granted this was before Nationalism so they didn't give a shit.

Because China had a huge army that could crush them if they really wanted to.
second because Chinese technology, literary culture and everything else was often genuinely more advanced than their neighbors, at least during the early period

The Japanese certainly did or at least viewed China as a equal early on.
To Sinicized cultures civilization was synonymous with Sinic culture.
You might as well ask why Germanic speakers claimed to be legitimate successors of Rome.
