I guess. But more recently than the Japanese or Mongols have fought China, we had that iddy biddy disagreement we call the Korean War, and that never actually ended. I know that didn't involve western troops on Chinese soil but the Chinese clearly regard North Korea as being vital as a buffer-state.
