AH Challenge: Large Jewish Minority in China

With a POD no earlier than 50CE, get a significant Jewish minority in China by 1900.

When the Mongols sweep through Dar al-Islam, they take some of the large and quasi-oppressed Jewish population and relocate them to China?

Otherwise, IIRC there was a ten thousand strong Jewish population in China during the Middle Ages, but they mostly assimilated.
 
Quite easy. They leave the empire after the Byzantine persecutions of the 5th century and settle into the Tang Empire, as maniheists or nestorians did...
