    I think you’re forgetting the time frame of the discussion here. We’re talking about the plague which happened in the late middle-ages. China was essentially the central power of Asia back then.

      Plague was before mass European colonization started, right? France, England, Spain sea power came a good bit after if I remember correctly.

      Kahn and the reign of the Steps came after China’s major history. It certainly wasn’t in shambles but well past the main kingdoms.
