Today I was sitting here with Zheng He the other day, and he was telling me about his accomplishments. Such as when he ordered over 500 ships to be built, they were the biggest wooden ships ever made. When all of the ships were completed, he tells me, we set sail for 28 years. We visited places in Africa, the Middle East and India. We went on these expeditions because we wanted to become a superpower, and we wanted to be able to trade with these other countries. But what I didn’t know at the time was that the ships that I had made had already made China a Naval Superpower. But today we have some sad news, Zheng He has died, he was in India, but at least he died trying to expand his own country.
