Best-selling author Gavin Menzies shocked the academic community when he wrote '1421' in which he claimed that the Chinese discovered Australia and for that matter America. Scientists in the main supported Dutch claims, but others supported the Portuguese. Scholars Howell and Xie examined the claims and concluded that China did not discover Australia, but through their tecnological advances could have if they so desired.
