Read the theory laid out in this book on how China actually mapped out the Indian Ocean, Pacific, Antarctica, the North Pole, and the Americas. 1421 - A Book Review

What is also interesting is why the original title was changed for publication in the USA from 1421: The Year China Discovered the World. Peter F May, Wine Editor Wine Website WineForum My Book
