Owing to Ming T'ai-tsu's and Ming Ch'eng-tsu's successful policies, tribute from the conquered south-east Asian countries was continuously sent to China. However, in the middle period of the Ming dynasty, powerful Chinese influence withdrew from those countries in order to protect itself from Mongol and Wako attacks. Afterwards, all those countries were gradually ruined and became overseas coloies of Portugal, Spain, Holland or England. Therefore, the relationship between the Ming Empire and South- east Asia changed thoroughly, and it represented the decline of Chinese oceanic history. In this essay, the alterations of the Empire's policies toward South-east Asia and its influence over those countries will be discussed. Also covered will be its effects of the mutual trading activities and the changes of each historical period's political situation. The thesis, consisting of 240 thousand words, has been divided into six chapters, twenty sections.
