Abstract

[When Admiral Zheng He led his fleets seven times through the southern seas in the early 15th century, the Ming Dynasty of China was enjoying political and economic dominance in Asia. Its advanced military and shipping technologies guaranteed safety of the fleets, and the Ming Emperor could effectively garner national resources to support the journeys. Zheng He ‘s voyages expanded China ‘s trade with both tributary and non-tributary countries, showed off China ‘s military and economic might, and strengthened China ‘s political relations with countries along the way. Is today ‘s China achieving the same through regional economic cooperation? A cursory look may suggest that China is reviving its status as the Central Kingdom, if not the tributary system, in Asia; it has become a driving force in the proliferation of bilateral and regional trade and financial arrangements; and, thanks to an authoritarian regime, it may be able to write cheques to foreign friends with much more ease than democratic states.]
