Whilst they might have set sail from the place that is now geographically China... they were the Mongols.
I do not know if there were any further invasions or not, but I would have thought there would be.

DO NOT GET ME STARTED, FOOL!
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
