No--he believed that the sun was the center of the universe.
During the 1500s, most people believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, with all other celestial bodies orbiting around it. This geocentric model of the universe was largely supported by the Catholic Church and the prevailing scientific understanding at the time, known as the Ptolemaic system.
About 99% of the population believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe. One major reason was because it had been the main belief since the time of Aristotle. Some people heard about Heliocentrism, but refused to accept it because they just didn't care. It didn't affect them in anyway if the earth was at the center or not. This society was very agrarian, so as long as the fields were good it didn't matter. The Scientific Revolution was a movement of the elite, a small percentage of the population which shared ideas in books that were meant to be read by intelligent people, not the laity.
Some ancient civilisations did indeed believe the moon was the centre of the universe and that the earth orbited it. It was the more commonly held belief, however, that the Earth was at the centre. The renouned classical astronomer and scientist Galileo Galilei is generally held as the first person to discover otherwise, and it wasnt until after his death that the world warmed to his claims that the Earth actually orbited the sun.

The belief that the Chinese people were the center of the universe stemmed from their view of China as the most advanced and sophisticated civilization at the time. This belief was reinforced by their isolation from other cultures due to geographical barriers like mountains and deserts. Additionally, the Chinese saw themselves as the middle kingdom between heaven and earth, with the emperor serving as the conduit to the divine.
