"To spread Chinese ideas and bring wealth to China from his travels."

Zheng He's voyages were diplomatic and commercial: they demonstrated Ming power, established tributary relationships, and expanded trade to bring prestige and wealth to China. Commanding a fleet and sailing far were means to that end, and he did not aim to conquer foreign lands.
