Uhm, sorry I'm not very knowledged on that period.

AFAIK China during the Song Dynasty wasn't involved much into the affairs in Central Asia. However, the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) made expansionist campaigns into Central Asia and conquered large amounts of lands incluiding the Tarim Basin, parts of Tianshan, Dzungaria and Mongolia.

By the 9th century the eastern Turkic people should have been assimilated into Han Chinese and other nomadic peoples.

The western Turkic people, after Tang retreat, still played a role in Central Asia but with little impact on China.

There had been Uighur rebellions during Qing. Besides those, there seems to nothing worth a mention. Most Chinese-Turkic interactions took place during Sui/Tang which were about the 6th to 8th centuries.

You know there are dozens of Turkic peoples, the Western and Eastern Turkic people are only the Tujue, there are other Turkics too.

Uhm, not at all. "Tujue" was the Chinese transcription of Turkic "Trk", the name used of one of the many Turkic peoples during 6th-9th centuries. The Arabs, Iranians and Byzantines used this name, Turk, for the Trk's (aka Gk Trk, Tujue, Tr'wk) relative peoples, such as the Oghuz, Pechenegs, Kumans, Qarluqs, Uyghurs, Kyrgyz and many many more.

For example, the Turks of Turkey (you call us "Tuerqiren" and our country "Tuerqi") are from the Oghuz people.

I am very interested at the connections among Huns(Xiongnu), Turks(Tujue) and Mongols. I'll start a new topic on that. Thank you ihsan!

I would recommend couple of books -
Rene Grousset "The Empire of the Steppes - a History of Central Asia", and
Thomas J. Barfield "The Perilous Frontier  - Nomadic Empires and China,  221 BC to AD 1757"
