Fun fact, /int/: mummies dating to 1800 BCE have been recovered from the Tarim basin in Xinjiang Province, Northwestern China which exhibit Europoid phenotypes. Some Sinologists associate these remains with the Tocharian peoples, an Indo-European ethnolinguistic group thought to have first settled the Tarim basin sometime after the third millennium BCE. The cities established by the Tocharian peoples were conquered by Turkic armies around the 8th century AD, and the inhabitants were assimilated by cultural exchange and intermarriage into the expanded Uyghur Khanate. Today Xinjiang Province is still home to the modern Uyghur people, who exhibit a mixed anthropological phenotype and possess 60% West Eurasian or European ancestry as per SNP analysis. Incidentally, many are now in Syria fighting for ISIS. The moral of the story is that it's a small world.

Xinjiang wasnt a part of China until the middle ages. The chinese civilization developed thousands of kilometers away from that. Xinjiang has more in common with the Stan countries of central asia.
