China was everywhere except north america.

A statement open to mis-interpretation. China had small trade going on with the west coast of North America, in the late 600's A.D. There are ancient Chinese documents of such trade from that period, describing flora and fauna of what is now Mexico. That's 800 years before Europeans explored.
