Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
Isn't this better expressed as 吾中國人也。 or maybe even 吾天下人也。?
This comes from Yakov Brandt's self-study manual[1] (currently in public domain). What he presents is a late Wényán as it was written by the beginning of the 20th century, but it's still Wényán.
As for 吾天下人也: are you sure anyone would actually say this? I mean... yes, really, 天下 means «the empire», but I don't think it's a word that can be used when we talk about China as opposed to other counties. Am I mistaken?

Ah, I see, thanks. Then I guess it's alright.
The 天下 thing was just an idea, because I wondered since when people say 中國 (Han? Qin?). I believe you're right that it couldn't be used to distinguish inhabitants of China from those of Barbasian countries. :)
> because I wondered since when people say 中國 (Han? Qin?).
Wikipedia says it was much earlier:
> The first appearance of (中國) in an artifact was in
> the Western Zhou vessel He zun.
