The proposition of CCTV documentary The Turning Point of History ·The Voyages to Western
Ocean is appropriate, but some of the views in it are open to question. After analytical

derived from the fiction of the Japanese novel Great Navigation and successive misinformation
of the writers in Taiwan and Shanghai.
