How would the native people of Coastal Siberia,the Rus-Sino border & the Ainu of Frontier Japan have reacted to Columbus' crew?
I do know that the general opinion of the civilized areas of Asia (China, Korea, settled Japan & Indonesia) was of course enormous scorn & xenophobia, if not violence, and the only people who would have been in any way shape or form "Happy" to see them were the Cannibals of Wild Indonesia,,,,,,, And Magellan (Columbus 2.0 for this discussion) of course ran into all of the above in the Phillipines,,,,,,
