This research explores the historical contributions of Arab-Islamic influences on Chinese civilization and their impact on economic life between 1054–1329 AH (1614–1911 AD). It emphasizes the importance of understanding China's economic strength, the ruling dynasties, and the cultural and historical factors that shaped its prosperity. Using descriptive and inductive analytical methods, the study is structured into an introduction, preface, and a focused section on China's economic role, addressing Arab Muslim involvement in trade, motivations behind their commercial engagement, and industrial development. Key findings highlight China's pivotal role in establishing expansive trade routes like the Silk Road, connecting it to Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, and underscore the significance of its paper and printing industry as a cornerstone of its economic legacy.
