section Summary
 
 
When China Ruled the Seas is a discourse on the histories of China's naval prowess. The book begins with early Chinese history, detailing China's first ships, and the somewhat disputable evidence of China's colonization and exploration of places such as Japan, North America, Australia, and the Pacific Isles. It even mentions possible evidence that China may have made great impacts on Central and South American cultures. This is all outlined with histories of great migrations of peoples within the Chinese states.
