Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The treasure fleet voyages cost Ming China enormous amounts of money; since they were not trade excursions, the government recovered little of the cost.

China was self-sufficient; it didn't need anything from the Indian Ocean world.

The Mongols and other Central Asian peoples made increasingly bold raids on western China, forcing the Ming rulers to concentrate their attention and their resources on securing the country's inland borders.
