Zheng He was a Chinese muslim admiral. He had converted to Islam when he learned from either the AFricans or Arabs.

One little correction here. Zeng He was a mongolian and he was 6'7 feet tall. In this documentary he looked shorter than the Emperor which he stood probably 5'5 feet tall-- an average chinese height.

Yeah, the Chinese messed up with the whole ship burning thing... But the secret to their success has been that they learn from mistakes and come back stronger.

the one of reasons that chinese people destroyed their fleet was that the navy wasted too much money. because we had no interest in other country's land, the purpose of Zhenghe's journey was just showing the superpower and trading some goods. we thought that the world outside china was far behind us. this made us make the most stupid decision, closing the door to the world. at that time, nobody realised the importance of commercial behavior in china.

"China isn't a country - it's a different world." That is how the "Lonely Planet" described China! Been to China myself and live there for few years, I would like to add little more;"China is STILL a sleeping giant". Amazing and a mysterious country. Thanks Spartan for the nice video.
