Explanation:

China was a great maritime power, long before Portugal and Spain won this title. The Chinese dominated not only shipbuilding, but also shipbuilding and had a fleet of more than 200 ships and 27800 sailors and soldiers. With all this power, China began a series of exploratory trips to the Indian Ocean in the early 15th century. These explorations were very profitable, but they had to be interrupted due to the constant internal conflicts and the frequent threats of invasion that provoke the need to protect the borders.
