Like I said, major trades between civilizations in the ancient world were done through the Silk Roads from China to Central Asia, Western Asia, South Asia and Europe. Many commodities and products included spices, not just silk, were exported from China through the Silk Roads to many parts of the ancient world. China also traded heavily with Southeast East. Even before China built the world's first transoceanic ship fleets that sailed as far as Africa and possibly to Australia or even Mesoamerica.
Europeans sent many people including the Jesuits to study in China because China was the most advanced civilization at the time. Europe was 1000 years behind China until Europeans went to China to study, after those Europeans went back to Europe they started the Industrial Revolution in Europe by using many Chinese technologies which they had learned from China. Marco Polo is the famous European who first published details of the technological advancements in China that shocked Europe, but he wasn't the first European travelled to China, there had been thousands of years before him. A defected Roman legion army went and stayed to settle in China.
China created the world's first university exams which are still being used worldwide today.
The world's first and is still the world's biggest encyclopedia with over 10,000 books was published in China.
China was the ancient world's biggest manufacturer and exporter for thousands of years. Even India imported Chinese products such as silk, paper, chinaware, tea and rice, until India learned to produce them.
Internationally acclaimed historians say ancient China's GDP was 60% of the world's total GDP, that is how big China's GDP was.
