How much longer can we ignore the fact Chinese discovered the Americas?

Zheng He's voyages were all around India and the Persian Gulf you twit.
Which brings me to the question, were the Olmecs fully Chinese? I really doubt it, but you can't deny the Asian features of them.
I'm sort of inclined to believe they mixed with "Aboriginal looking people" for a lack of a better term.

Irish monks discovered it first for Europeans.
Excellent contributions guys, I've learned so much.
And why do OP's keep making threads then abandoning them? Nobody is here to spoon feed you
Vikings.
Except they got BTFO by Native Americans and never dared to come back.

more likely there was nothing to pillage and Europe wasn't crumpled enough to justify founding settlements months of travel away from everything

Nice memes.
Why'd the Vikings settle on Iceland then? They settled on American soil but got raped by Indians hard.

There was 0 financial incentive for the Chinese to go across the Pacific. Yeah he had a fleet that could make the voyage, but why would he? He just wanted to spread Chinese influence to other nearby nations via massive display of power and Chinese dick waving.
Plus, the Ming were officially isolationist and self sufficient economically, with workshops flourishing and a growing merchant class (Read Golden Lotus).
Europe wanted the commerce and discovered America in the process of trying to get to Asia.

It's unimportant who discovered America first since only Columbus's discovery actually matters

They also settled on Greenland which had a heavy Indian presence and didn`t get BTFO there.
