Chinese colonize Americas

What time frame are you thinking of? Why would the Chinese want to colonize the Americas? What changes are you considering in the Chinese imperial philosophy and mindset that would persuade them that establishing colonies that far from the home country was a good idea?
 
No expert. All I know is that they had the treasure fleet that was sent out and when it returned there was a new ruler and he didn't want to deal with the fleet or any of its discoveries. Or am I just making that up?:confused:
 
The question is: Why?

The Chinese would have more than enough land to be colonized nearby. They could conquer OTL Indinesia, colonize Formosa and the Philippines, colonize Mandschuria, colonize Australia, Africa...
