I don't have a clue. Some of the Chinese writers are rather nationalistic. In that case, the Chinese influenced the Saka and Alans, and we hear no mention from the other side-- in other words, how the steppe tribes also, and earlier, influenced. the Chinese.
However, most Chinese archaeologists are fair in their judgment. And in this case, we see a truer picture where both sides, the steppe tribes and the Chinese, added to each others knowledge.
