中华 means China, and this is the name of China that is used by China.com for example.

China (alternate formal name)
中華 trad. 中华 simp. [Zhōnghuá]

I'm interested in hearing from someone more familiar with Chinese as to what the difference between 中国 and 中华 is.

中华 is better than 中国，because the former one is accepted by all the Chinese culture circle. The later one is mainly for mainland. Especially in future, if Taiwan is united together with China, the former name will be the official one.

Thank you! That is what I was thinking too.

Do you think traditional characters will come back in China? I heared they are used for signs? Some unviersities websites I looked at recently used 大學 for example.

Thank you. Zhōnghuá is the reason we have the ZH language code in Latin.

in Mainland, traditional characters will not be officially used unless taiwan and mainland are united together.
calligraphy is the reservation area of traditional characters.
But in business, traditional characters are very commonly used now, especially for the companies have international business in Chinese culture circle. They are so popular that I found many companies purely from mainland and have business in mainland, but they still use traditional Chinese in there official documents.

中华 is just another way to call China 中国.
A more self-proclaimed laudatory name. Another kind of this name is 华夏。
The full name for Mainland China is 中华人民共和国, which has 中华 in it.
The full name for Taiwan is 中华民国, wich also has 中华 in it. So 中国 is a short for both names, though politically speaking they are ruled by different Chinese governments.
But anyway, it is a good name. If there is a state owned TV station other than CCTV, it very possibly chooses 中华 in its name. However it is not as generic as 中国.tv

Thank you for your clarification.

I regret not getting 中華.tv because I see 中華 used all the time outside of China.
