Why do we never hear about Zheng He but always about cristobal colon?

The west fears China

he looks like a fag

He's famous in east asia.

He reached america 50 years before colon.

>He reached america 50 years before colon
cool. how many settlements did china have in america?

that's why he's irrelevant. just as leif eriksson is irrelevant
>>
>>217849304
Why is poortugal irrelevant if they had settlements?
>>
>>217849193
>he reached America
proofs? He sailed around the Indian Ocean.
>>
>>217849357
Because it’s a country of 10 million, not 1 billion that still failed to create settlements in the past

So china wasn't literally 70-80% of the world economy in the 16 century?

Or why do you assume china needed to explore to steal resources from others?

China doesn't need to explore, like they literally said to the british once.

>>217849425
dunno.

But there's other famous non western explorers like Mansa Qu, from west africa.

he was muslim

imagine if this chink actually reached america
gradual exposure to disease
no chinese colonial interest
trading new world spices for old world weaponry
ancient cultures perfectly preserved
most importantly, no latinX born out of miscegenation between spaniards and natives
what a merry world it would have been

A cope, they also saw the European powers as vassal states (despite not knowing we existed until we showed up) then we and the frogs pushed their shit in
>>
>>217849840
china knew europe existed since roman times

there was a chinese monk who visited medieval europe

China has never shown a desire to go and conquer, kill and steal resources like the europeans.

>but muh civil war siege with 20k eaten civilians

>but china saw europeans as vassals.
Because europe was 50+% of the world economy by the 17-18 century.

It would be like if an empire of bolivians went to modern day japan and claimed the japanese were inferior.
>>
>>217850054
Sorry, I mean that china was 50+% of world GDP
>>
>>217850054
shut up ceron

china would not have colonized the americas because japan blocks them and the pacifuc ocean is much bigger than the atlantic ocean
>>
>>217850105
How do you feel about portugal not being able to compete internationally without war and killing the non whites?

Isn't funny how brazil is now more relevant than your empire from 500 years ago?

And what do you have?

Old people in villages, and some history of 500 years ago.

The only relevant portugal shit is to have CR7.

Even in soccer brazil mogs you.
>>
>>217850083
anywhere pre-industrial, 99% of the population were illiterate farmers, so world gdp is more or less just a population count
and they did not get to their size by sitting around being peaceful. china has conquered and genocided their way through their neighbours to get their current lands and size

that's funny because the opoid wars happened because british empire was having such trade imabalance with china it was getting bankrupt.

lmao.

China was literally producing shit like porcelain, ceramics, paper, powder, textiles, silk, since the roman empire days.

The romans thought that silk was a miracle and chinese silk was a luxury good in the roman empire.

they would be right, in fact, the entire world is inferior to Boliaryans

The other squat there fills me with disgust. What is wrong with him, using the symbol of an ethnicity to insult that same ethnicity? Why are latinx retarded?

Kinda hard to take him seriously when his exploration starts off, according to legend.
