Easternized World had changes stretching back for centuries prior to the discovery of the Americas though, and also involved the rise of Sri Vijaya and Japan, and the fall of Islam and a weaker Europe. That's what I meant by having just China discovering the Americas and no other major changes before hand. Like if the Chinese continued to explore after Zheng He and they discover North America in 1450, with the Europeans only a few decades behind.
