Yes, that's true, but look again at the definition from the Klingon
point of view:
Okrand said:
{yergho}, which is apparently derived from {yer} "domain, holdings,
territory" plus {gho} "circle."
I believe that Okrand just didn't think about a difference of a city or
a country and if you accept china being a {yer}, then {yergho} works
perfectly. In my opinion.
