Asian Dominated World

As the title says, but more specifically East Asian. Doesn't matter which time it kicks off just obviously before Europeans could catch up with them, and in the case of Europe at least dominating enough to influence architecture, customs stuff like that.
 
It is argued China passed close to be a MAJOR player of pre-modern era by about two times, I think. Song dynasty had some preindustrial conditions, the industrial revolution may have happened there.. later, Ming dynasty had exploration, commerce and all. If the emperors had been more focused on it, maybe chineses colonisation... or such.
