What would have happened if the Chinese would have colonized North America?
Analogously speaking (comparing something with the same general features); China could be considered the Oriental (Eastern) version of the Occident's (Western) Spain. Spain at one time owned vast tracts of the Americas to include many of the islands surrounding the Americas (North, Central, and South Americas)...and although Spain owned (or colonized) those lands until 1898 (when Spain's empire was no more), Spain rarely exhibited the military prowess as did Britain or France.
Although China didn't colonize lands as did Spain, China remained large in territory thru-out it's history; but like Spain, China never really exhibited a military prowess like it's neighbors Russia and Japan. Therefore..."had China conducted any colonizing; it would most likely have lost them as Spain actually did."

They colonized Tunisia because Tunisia owed France some money, and they could not pay back, therefore France came and invaded so they could pay by getting the land.
The biggest differences is in how the three treated the Native Americans. The French treated Native Americans with more respect and many French lived with the natives. They traded with them and had good relationships. The British thought of the Native Americans as a problem from the start and felt that they should leave the land to the British. They did their best to kill them or drive them out of their native areas. The Spanish were even worse. They enslaved the Native Americans that they encountered. The missions they set up still have the mass graves of the Natives that worked on the missions grounds.
