Description

Acted by David Tse

Between 1405 and 1433, the Ming government sponsored a series of seven naval expeditions. The emperor designed them to establish a Chinese presence, impose imperial control over trade, impress foreign peoples in the Indian Ocean basin and extend the empire's tributary system.

Zheng He was the man chosen to lead this great fleet which reached as far as east Africa opening up rich trade routes, bringing peace and prosperity to war ravaged far off lands, religious equality and setting China on the road to economical dominance over the rest of the world.

Why then did china suddenly stop the treasure fleets and close its borders to its newly found trade partners?

Did Chinese Muslim admiral, Zheng He, discover America before Columbus? Is this map the proof?
