Eurocentrism is definitely a problem.

Well, he's right. Focusing on Europe is definitely a big problem. For example European periodization doesn't make sense for other cultures and civilizations.

The century of Asia is on US.

I remember our history textbooks from the 90s. There was maybe one chapter about all Asian cultures and that's it. In modern textbooks there are chapters about Chinese civil war, Mao, Deng's reforms.
