Looks like the chinese did not finish the job at quanzhou.Tha
There is a possibility that happened. Malays in peninsular, sumatra and java converted en masse about the time of zheng he. You would too if you see indians, arabs and suddenly chinese and they were all muslims.
The borneo sultanate converted earlier, probably by arab refugees from quanzhou whose settlement were razed snd slaughtered by chinese emperor. Around 1284 of thereabouts.
