Inventions
The Chinese invented gunpowder and were able to make many metals. They eventually used gunpowder in weapons and the metal formed their weapons. The Islamic people made advancements in things but not as much as the Chinese and focused on getting trading goods.

Tolerance
In china they had tolerance because there was no one religion each religion did fight but the government did not focus on it. In Islam this is different because one of the main priorities of the government was their religion.

Influence from others
Each place was influenced from trade from other societies. China influenced many of the technologies Islam gained. Islam also influenced other places by spreading of their trade and religion.

Song collapse
One of the reasons the song collapsed was because they didn't have a strong enough military which was different from Islam because they needed to spread Islam by fighting. Islamic people also had organization of money so they would have seen the Chinese Economy as chaotic because the bureaucrats took all the money.
