ANSWER:
Students should discuss Chinese exploration, particularly that of the Ming, who sponsored several imperial fleets to extend not only trade but also Ming dominion and power. Ming fleets were grander and more impressive than the later European fleets. The Chinese, however, quickly abandoned maritime expansion in favor of their land-based empire. The rise of medieval Islam led to a network of traders in the Indian Ocean.
