It is pointed out in the passage that medieval Chinese sailors ----.
Certain records have come to light recently, which
suggest that it was the Chinese who discovered
America. And they found it nearly three quarters of a
century before Columbus did. It's a sad fact of life,
and of our rather poor historical education, that
Europeans tend to have a Eurocentric view of history.
Unfortunately, it's not usually realized that China had
an empire and a civilization that put medieval Europe
to shame. Culturally, politically and even
scientifically, China's home-grown experiments and
experiences could not be matched for a long time. In
the meantime, the Chinese were enthusiastic
travellers and explorers. Indeed, Chinese navigators
were also far more advanced than any in the West.
