In 1405  the Chinese sent a fleet of 200 ships with 30, 000 sailors and marines from China, thru Malaya, India, Arabia then to East Africa. They established diplomatic and trade links with native countries, but did not make a single colony or conquest. A few decades later the Portuguese and Spanish started their own great voyages. The natives they met suffered a very different fate. Dont believe me? Research Admiral Zheng He
