Three of the most well-known Western figures in China are Marco Polo, who documented his travels and introduced Europeans to Chinese culture in the 13th century; Dr. Sun Yat-sen, a key figure in the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty and the founding of modern China; and Henry Kissinger, whose diplomatic efforts in the 1970s helped normalize relations between the United States and China. Each played a significant role in shaping perceptions and relations between the West and China throughout history.
The European explorer whose vivid descriptions of the riches of China inspired traders to seek opportunities in Asia was Marco Polo. His travels, documented in "The Travels of Marco Polo," depicted the wealth, culture, and exotic goods of the East, particularly during his time at the court of Kublai Khan. His accounts fueled European interest in trade with Asia and contributed to the Age of Exploration.
Three explorers whose travels benefited their country include Christopher Columbus, who opened up the Americas to European exploration and colonization; Marco Polo, whose travels to China and the East expanded European knowledge of Asia and trade routes; and Lewis and Clark, who explored the western United States and helped to map and establish American presence in that region.
Macau is a semi-autonomous district of the People's Republic of China. Macau was settled as a Portugese colony in the 16th century, and in 1887 a treaty established perpetual occupation by Portugal. In the 20th century, China disavowed the treaty and Portugal relinquished its overseas colonies. On December 20, 1999, China resumed sovereignty over Macau.
