Mesopotamians may have arrived in China before 2200 BC (after Tower of Babel days). The earliest history describes worship of Shang Di, a spirit who created all things. Never an idol or image. Besides description of yearly sacrifices of a bull and Shang Di as the Potter who made us and a kindly father, some people see Bible stories in the old pictographs and ideograph characters. Just a short hop to Japan. Regardless, people wander all the time, it would be more amazing if there was any place in the old world that didn't have visitors from far away. Chinese went to Africa, probably North America.
