In what ways do you think Ashoka's attitude toward neighbouring peoples was different from that of the Chinese emperors?                                                      

Answer:

Ashoka's attitude towards the neighbouring peoples was totally different from the contemporary Chinese emperors. For example the Chinese emperors constructed wall to protect the northern frontier of the empire from the pastoral people, where as Ashoka expanded its empire of Dhamma by sending officials to spread the message of non-violence.
