There is no evidence of which I am aware of that they reached China. But the volga trade route went as far east as modern day Uzbekistan and from there it connected to the silk road which allowed for indirect contact (Samarkand being a hub of both). It would be somewhat accurate to say they "directly" interacted with a Persian empire in the form of the Samanid.
Thanks, I was in fact remembering their volga trade route into the caspian. It was through this that they recieved some chinese goods but they definitely didn't directly interact with China. I read an article about this like a week ago so my memory was a bit fuzzy :P
