The display highlights Zheng He's Ming Dynasty fleets, which from 1405 to 1433 sailed to Africa and India for diplomacy and trade, not conquest, with ships described in records as far larger than European vessels of the era—though modern scholars debate the exact sizes as possibly exaggerated. After Zheng He's death in 1433, new emperors scrapped the navy to focus on land threats, burning records and adopting inward policies that let Europe later rule the seas. Debates reflect on those choices, with some praising China's restraint and others lamenting a missed chance at global power, especially as China builds its modern navy today.
