China was completely contrary from Central Africa on economic, political, and cultural bases during the 1500-1800. From 1000-1500 China led the world in economic development and there after experiencing the trauma of rule by the Yuan Dynasty, China adopted policies that favoured Chinese political and cultural tradition. On the other hand, the kingdoms of central Africa had initiated commercial relations with Portuguese merchants and diplomatic relations with Portuguese monarchy. Portuguese traded for slaves and slave trade undetermined the authority of the King. The Kings were converts of Christianity just to establish closer relations with Portuguese whereas Chinese has great problems with the exclusivity of Christianity but the Jesuits were respectful of Chinese culture and won a few converts.

Jack HIS 1302-08 April 20, 2010 Primary Source Analysis In 1949 China, under the leadership of Mao Zedong, China passed a law that granted women the same rights as men in a marriage. This was a big step in China because China’s traditional values grant men all authority. Because it was a law that broke the traditional values of the Chinese, Chinese men and women of the 1940’s may not have respected the law as well as they did others. This was the beginning of China moving forward and catching up with countries such as the United States and Europe. Many women in China were typical house wives in the 1940’s.
These Chinese explorations were really helpful, but also really expensive because of the large timber ships that they built. The government put a policy shift against voyages, and put a greater focus on domestic matters. The Members of the Ming Court advocated a greater focus on domestic and continental matters, emphasizing agricultural production, internal stability, a military buildup and colonization at the edges of the Central Asian steppe, and refurbishment of the Great Wall, designed to repel invaders (DOC 3, 4). Even though China had earlier technological innovations than Europe did (DOC 2) Europe still succeeded because China was governed by ignorant
Politics and Economics in China and India The Han dynasty and the Gupta dynasty were two important dynasties of early foundation. The Han dynasty arose in 206 B.C.E after the collapse of the Qin dynasty due to rebellions. Liu Bang quickly restored order to China, making the Han dynasty one of the longest and most influential dynasties in history. China relied greatly on politics, and its centralized government to keep the dynasty together for over 400 years. The Gupta dynasty arose in northern and central India, as well as parts of modern day Pakistan and Bangladesh after the nomadic Kushan Empire of India declined.
Throughout the 19th century, American relations with China were restricted to a small but profitable trade a. The British, in competition with France, Germany, and Russia, took advantage of the crumbling Manchu dynasty to force treaties on China, creating “treaty ports” and granting exclusive trading privileges in various parts of the country. b. American attitudes toward the Chinese people reflected this confusion of motives. 2. The annexation of Hawaii and Philippines in 1898 and 1899 convinced Secretary of State Hay that the US should have announced a China policy.
But after the announcement it rose to 49.7%, an increase of almost ten percent!17 It is clear that the Nixon administration wished for the visit to China to affect the voting preferences of the American people and to make them see their President in a new light. Communists cannot be trusted. They have never been truthful. Why should they be truthful now? What would they gain by having the United States of America as an ally?
While China have been doing this the countries In the Middle East with the oil have been trying to shift away from having a customer base from over dependence on the Western market and so they have been looking at rapidly growing markets like China. Another example of how a good relationship leafs to a good supply of energy is the case of the US and Saudi Arabia. They had a symbiotic relationship, meaning that they depended on each other, but in the aftermath of 9/11 their relationship has become increasingly strained. This is because 15 out of the 19 hijackers were of Saudi nationality. However, they need to have a good relationship so they can both survive as Saudi Arabia need the money from exporting and the US need the energy.

It then spread through China, killing approximately 35 million people. For reasons unknown (perhaps global cooling allowed it to thrive), the plague began a massive outbreak in all directions that eventually affected most of the world. It spread along Chinese trade routes and reached Europe in October 1347 when a fleet of Genoese merchant ships from Caffa landed in
Another historical turning point during this era was the Spanish-American War of 1898. This war transformed the United States into a major overseas power (Schultz, 2012). The war was not intended to create an American empire but to help Cuba. The war only lasted four months but during that time, America annexed Hawaii which gave the U.S. an island empire in the Pacific and Caribbean. The United States then had a following of dependent nations who were indebted to American business and military interests.
