Oh my fantasies about 'Those ships? Carry EVIL. Fire arrows! Flaming pitch! Kill it with FIRE! Don't even let them touch sand!'

And truthfully I remember West Asia more than China all that 'whispering in ears' and carving up. I think, perhaps, that's one of the reasons I enjoy Cherryh's Foreigner Series so much - whether she meant to put it there or not, I read a whole lot of 'Had no clue about the diversity of intelligent perspective on the universe, transgressed lines they didn't even realize were there, upset powers, over-balanced governments, thought it would all end up to their advantage anyway'. Except that in the books, the non pale skinned, very tall, very strong natives kicked. their. asses. Due to huge resentment that was -planetwide- and throngs of population.
