What makes it even funnier is that the Roman and Han Empires were aware of each others existence, and the general attitude of China was said to be respect and interest in their far western peers and the Roman attitude was that they looked forward to conquering China some day.
In the 1st century AD, during the Battle of Altai, the Chinese completely defeated the Xiongnu, and some of their descendants evolved into the Huns.
