For what reason did the chinese take little interest in the maps brought by matteo ricci?

The Chinese took little interest in the maps brought by Matteo Ricci because they went counter to their belief that the world was flat. The maps depicted the world as a sphere. They also showed that China was just one country in the larger map. They whined that he treated the Ming Empire as a small insignificant country.
