1421 China discovers North America; more evidence?
I remember all the fuss this book made upon it’s release a number of years back. A film documentary was also prepared and showed beautiful cinematography …and even contained fascinating scenes of historic anecdotes – like the visit to an African village where some ancient Chinese porcelain were maintained as important family heirlooms…by a village ...
First Nations versus Chinese?
posting by David Wong A few years ago, I received an invitation from a Chinese Cdn activist stating “Chinese reconciliation with Native Indians” dinner event. I remember calling the guy up, speaking to him on the phone and trying really hard to NOT tell him to bugger off. I had thought, “who the heck does this guy ...
