what limited ancient china's contact with neighboring civilizations the most?

[vballchica]

was it the:


Gobi Desert


or



Himalaya Mountains

 

[Matt W]

probably that big wall they built
that really hinders contact with nieghbors

 

[Knight of Truth]

Probably the fact that their next-door neighbors were Mongols who attacked them.

The Chinese didn't really like foreigners. They were quite comfortable by themselves, and while they would trade with them they didn't really care for social chitchat with the foreign "Barbarians".

 

[Hitchhiker]

it was lack of cell towers for their phones. They also didnt have any maps and couldn't find us.
