Aside from all the jesting and stupid comments -— I find this interesting.
Zheng He is an interesting individual from Chinese history. If the point of Menzies book is true, then the course of this country’s history would be changed.
Who knows where that age of exploration would have led if China hadn’t withdrawn into itself.
They’d have built the railroads fifty years sooner?
But seriously, Zheng He didn’t make it to America, even though IMHO Columbus was by no means the first to sail over.
