It depends on whether you are referring to Islam as a religion or Islam as a political entity.
Religion
The spread of the religion of Islam in China began when four of Mohammed's Apostles: Sa'd ibn Abī Waqqās, Ja'far ibn Abi Talib, and Jahsh preached in 616 C.E. and onwards in China. Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas again headed for China for the third time in 650-51 C.E. after Caliph 'Othman asked him to lead an embassy to China, which the Chinese emperor received warmly.
Political Entity
Islam as a political entity was spread up to Persia by Arab conquerors (which includes some of what is now Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan in addition to Iran). In Central Asia, numerous Mongol and Türkic Tribes converted to Islam and then proceeded to conquer much of Central Asia, up to Xinjiang in Western China. Under the Abbassid banner, these Türkic Tribes and Arabs fought the Tang Empire at the Battle of Talas in 751 C.E. and won a stunning victory against the Chinese, putting an Islamic State right next to Imperial China.
