China did not have a strong motivation to sail vast oceans during the Age of Discovery, as they believed themselves to be the most advanced civilization and saw no need for exploration or expansion.
During the Age of Discovery, Chinese culture was primarily motivated to sail vast oceans for exploration, trade, and expansion of their empire. China's motivation was driven by several factors, including economic opportunities, desire for political influence, and the search for valuable resources. Additionally, the Chinese had a long-standing tradition of maritime activities and seafaring, which further contributed to their willingness to venture into unknown waters.
