Talk The Walk Interview: Impact of Zheng He’s Voyages and Chinese Global Exploration in the Pre-Columbian Era: Evidence from an Ancient World Map:  China-US Relations

29 June 2023

Whether we are inside due to scorching summer heatwaves or winter blues (for those in the Southern Hemisphere), cabin fever and summer boredom may start to set in. Luckily, Dr Sheng-Wei Wang was invited to appear on the Hong Kong International Business Channel (Television Channel 76; HKIBC; 香港國際財經台) to discuss her findings on Chinese global voyages before 1492.

Although, Dr Wang is an academic with writings and speech aimed at the academia, she understands that those mediums might be less approachable to the general public. As such, she engages in more casual formats with the aims of making her findings reachable and enjoyable to all.

In this interview, Dr Wang discusses how many of her arguments, including the importance of the Ming figure, Zheng He (鄭和), influenced or proceeded the European Age of Discovery and what it means to us in this age of rising Sino-Western tensions.

Dr Wang and her team hope you enjoy the interview and invite you to share opinions for a happy and fruitful discussion.
