There was nothing wrong with the ship, which got from Taiwan to the US and back. It just got run over by a freighter, a hazard which would not have existed in Zheng He’s day.
Of course, nobody’s ever really doubted that the Chinese ships of the time could make the voyage. Only that there’s no reason for them to have tried, no record of them doing so, and no time for them to do it in the few gaps that exist in the record. (note how long it took them to get to SF and back)
