The only time the Chinese fought the Muslims, both sides at the peak of their power.

Imagine if China had won.

I remember learning this and thought the same, one of those moments where the world could have looked a lot different.

China won, and now occupies Xinjiang.

Millions of dead fools who fought for a piece of land that they themselves wouldn't even own
Nobody won

It is a curiously unappreciated piece of history.

And a dream match-up.

The Middle Kingdom vs the Islamic Empire, both utterly convinced of their own superiority and right to rule the known world.

Pro-tip: You don't become the second largest country in the world and maintain your cultural identity for thousands of years by being shit at fighting.

Turks turned against the Chinks and started their Islamization with this battle.

Technically the Chinese only lost because they were betrayed by their own allies in the battle.

It wasn't a fair fight.

Yup.

Backstabbers.

We could have had a Chinese Middle East.

Imagine that.
No need to fire lead.
Whole area is painted with it anyways.
