Hi there! I was wondering about why didn't China discover America before the European.
Was there even a time when it could happen? If so, why it didn't?
Ps. Not a native English speaker and apparently today I can't articulate, so sorry if I've made some mistakes, point them to me and I will edit them
You may find it difficult to get answer as to why something didn't happen, but here's a thread from a year ago that that talks about China's worldview around the time of the Age of Exploration and the Ming dynasty and how they were more interested in westward expansion (similar to America in the 19th century). /u/cthulhushrugged may be able to provide more info.
