For example:
India: Chinese sailors clapped hands to perform a deal
Sri Lanka: Offered gold and silver Buddhist ceremonial vessels and silk to local temples
He brought Chinese culture through his travels.
Zheng He first conducted an exhaustive study of existing nautical charts, celestial navigation, eastern and western almanacs, astronomy and geography, marine sciences, piloting, and shipbuilding and repair.
This information would spread around the world.
Zheng He once again made China a dominant force in international trade which brought several luxury goods to different countries including pearls and precious stones, coral, ivory and dyestuff, giraffe, lion, ostrich and leopard from Ryukyu Islands, the Philippine Islands and Maluku Sea to the Mozambican Channel and the costal areas of South Africa
Instead of destroying the native population and rulers with the most superior fleet of the time, Zheng He acted as an envoy that respected different cultures and helped exchange them throughout the world.

The court officials interviewed me, and this is a link to the full interview.
House of Prince Yan (Beiping)
Starting off from the most unlikely of positions, Zheng He rose to prominence to command a fleet of 62 of the most sophisticated ships and almost 28,000 men. His simple beginnings as the court eunuch, his rise to a fleet admiral changed the world...
In Comparison
Zheng He: The Most Superior Navigator of all Time
He sailed to the Americas, 100 years after Zheng He.
Enslaved the entire population without respect or regard.
He only had three ships vs. whole a fleet.
China displayed power and wealth in the geographic hemisphere with the command of the largest fleet with the most impressive engineering in naval technology. This was a nationalistic display for China, and unified China, supporting the new Yongle emperor's legitimacy.

The demonstration of his loyalty and protection to the Prince of Yan helped expand the efforts of a traditional Chinese ruler to reclaim the throne.
Zheng He played key roles in many military campaigns and battles.
Favorite picture of the Yongle emperor! #Bestfriends #HomieG
This benefited China on their image in the view of the their geographic region. By acting as an amiable and respectful envoy, yet a powerful naval force, Zheng He was able to create an image of China that countries would respect, yet fear.
