Recently, Duke University professor, famous historian and sinologist Du Zanqi said in a high-end dialogue program "Cultural Relativity" that "Zheng He's voyages to the West" did not occupy external colonies like Western powers.
Duzanqi said that Zheng He did not settle down wherever he went, but hoped that these areas would pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty at that time and put it under the imperial order of the Ming Dynasty.
This is actually an economic and political exchange, a manifestation of the hierarchy.
The program "Cultural Relativity" is hosted by Yang Lan, a well-known media person, and is expected to be broadcast in the near future.
