>> Hunt for Ming dynasty admiral Zheng He’s lost treasure ship heats up in Indian Ocean <<

All this talk about the great Chinese admiral raises a question: who appointed him?

His boss Zhu Di, the third Ming emperor, got a lot done such as ...

1) Moved the capital from Nanjing to Beijing;

2) Brought along his favorite recipe (now called Peking Duck);

3) Rebuilt the Grand Canal;

4) Built the Forbidden City;

5) Expanded the imperial examination system;

6) Waged war against he Mongols; and

7) Sent Zheng He out to explore the world.
