This area languished for centuries until competition between China,

“Xinjiang” or “Sinkiang”, which means “New Dominion” or “New
Territory”, was annexed by the Manchu empire on November 18, 1884.
Doyle;
This implies that China was not ruling the region before then, but
that's not the case. This is not a well reasoned essay on the geo
