"Chinese naval technology was vastly superior to that of other nations until after the 15-16th centuries"

Don't delude yourself. Certainly at times it was, when there was stagnation in the West, most notebly during the Early Middle Ages and then again at points in the High Middle Ages but you'll find many historians would argue that it was not always the case and it's extremely hard to tell seeing as how the East only came into full contact with the West in the Late Middle Ages and how the maritime conditions were so different. Chinese technological superiority in this area has been greatly exaggerated since the discovery that the West only adopted inventions like fenestrated rudder and sealed compartments relatively late in history. Yet these were minor developments in comparison . If you took the care to look at European and Arabic naval history you'll see that they roughly developed at the same pace.
