Business Orientation Tour Of China

In 2010 and 2012 , I organized two eighteen day all inclusive six province tours of Northern and Southern China.  Here is a group picture of our last group in front of the Heavenly Temple in The Forbidden City.
In September of 2014,  I am going to organize a 21 day Business Orientation Tour of China that is a "unique blend of business and cultural experiences".   The tentative itinerary can be found in the following blogsite:  http://alltheteainchinatour.blogspot.ca
If anyone wants to go please contact me for more details.
I just finished reading a documentary novel by Gavin Menzies titled:  1421 when China Discovered America.  It is a fascinating documentary that provides proof that the Chinese under Cheng He and his giant treasure ships sailed the world in several voyages between 1407 and 1421 and traded and established colonies in Africa, India, Australia, South America , the Carribbean, and North America centuries before the Portuguese explorers of Bartholomew Diaz, Vasco da Gama, Ferdinand Magellan or the Italian Christopher Columbus or the Spanish Conquistadors. Moreover, the  Europeans were using nautical maps that were created by the Chinese that were copied  by Italian cartographers and purchased by Henry the Navigator of Portugal who gave these nautical maps to the
explorers he sponsored.  Beside the heavenly temple is a giant astrolabe that depicts the world as being round and has positions of the stars and countries clearly mapped out . This astrolab was positioned in the heavenly temple to assist the astronomers in plotting China's position relative to all the known countries in the world and established China as the Middle Kingdom. The world is depicted as being round and not flat. With this documented book , Western historians will have to re-evaluate the history and development of exploration prior to 1492.
