China:

Although Indian Buddhist missionaries reached China in about A.D. 65, yet the texts themselves had reached there much earlier, perhaps in the second century B.C. through the Yeuh-Chi rulers. Dharmaraksha and Kasyapa Matanga, the pioneers in China, translated the Buddhist texts into Chinese in the first century A.D. and thus paved the way for others to follow. There was an onrush of Indian Buddhists into China between the third and sixth centuries A.D.9 Some of those who went to China for the propagation of the tenets of the Enlightened are: Gautama-sangha, Punyatrata, Dharmayasas, Yasa, Kumaravijaya, Vimalaksa, Buddhajiva, Dharmaksema from madhyadesa, Upasunya and Paramartha from Ujjain, Gunavarman from Kashmir, Bodhidharma, Jnanabhadra, Jinayasas and Yasogupta from Bengal and Kamarupa (Assam), Buddhabhadra and Vimoksasena from Swat, Jivagupta of Gandhara, Dharmagupta of Lata, Prabhakaramitra, Bodhiruci, Sudhakarasirhha Vajrabodhi, Amoghavajra and Dharmadeva. Among these Gautamasailgha, Bodhiruci, Amoghavajra and Dharmadeva translated Buddhist texts into the Chinese.
