Word for China in Korean sounds very close to the Mandarin word for China.
Also France and Germany have a totally different historical relationship than others because the Francs were a German tribe that ended up taking over France (hence the name France). So it makes sense their names are different, just like it makes sense name for China (middle kingdom) and surrounding Asian countries is different from Western countries (named after Qin, China pronounced same).
Korea or China has no historical relationship with Ukraine, Israel, or Palestine so I don't expect the name to change much from western version. Maybe Russia since they've been in Asia so long.
