If Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty discovered the new American continent, would history be rewritten?

During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He led a huge fleet to the Western Ocean for seven times. In order to enhance Daming's national strength and prestige. In the following decades. Columbus of Europe also led the fleet to America. Since then, the world has entered the era of great navigation. The world is getting smaller and smaller. The resources plundered by the great voyage promoted the development of Europe. It also indirectly promoted the emergence of the industrial revolution. It has made great contributions to the development of today's world. Seeing this, we can't help asking, if Zheng He discovers America, will history be rewritten?

I think even if Zheng He discovered America, history will not be rewritten by China. Although Zheng He went to the West earlier than Columbus, he came to visit in a friendly way! In order to spread Daming's reputation! Even if he went to America, he just sent some gifts to the Mayans! Spread your friendship and reputation. History books may record that he went to a place he never knew! Or you may be too lazy to record this. But it can't be a century voyage! China people will not immigrate to the United States in large numbers or explore treasure in the United States! Because China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources, rich in products! Completely self-sufficient! There is no need to risk going to America for treasure hunting!

But Columbus's motivation for discovering America is different from Zheng He's! The Spanish royal family funded Columbus' voyage! Spain just kicked Muslims out of Spain! The country is weak! Columbus had planned to reach China and India! Because the Adventures of Kyle Poirot said that China was rich! At that time, navigation technology was not developed! The Spanish royal family and Columbus both set out with the mentality that a dead horse is a living horse doctor! I didn't expect to hit America by mistake! America is not as rich as China! But the Mayans also had a lot of wealth, and their technology was backward! Spain can be easily conquered! After the news that Columbus discovered America and gained wealth spread in Europe, Europe began a century-long voyage! The plundered wealth has played a very important role in the development of Europe! It indirectly promoted the development of the industrial revolution! Also changed the world now!

So I don't think it makes sense that Zheng He discovered America. It only makes sense if Columbus finds out. Although America was plundered, civilizations such as Maya and Inca were destroyed. But their wealth has helped the development of Europe and indirectly promoted the development of European science and technology. This influence continues to this day.

Although plunder is a barbaric act. But plunder also has its good side. It can export its own values, culture and religion to the world. At present, the overall advantage of western countries still comes from the dividends brought by previous plunder. China is a country that is not very good at aggression and plunder. I hope China can learn from other people's characteristics to make up for its own shortcomings. Don't always satisfy yourself, but also export your own culture and values. I think China culture is very attractive. Countries like China are still preserving China culture. The export of China culture will surely attract many fans.
