MONGOLIANSSS tear down the wall of South Park ping LOL!
Let us consider this within the context of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. The area currently encompassed by the SCO is oddly similar to the area encompassed by the Mongol Empire / Yuan Dynasty at its peak. The SCO's mandarins are accomplished men and have studied their history. Whereas, the Khannate was a tributary system, wherein the Russians and other Eastern Slavic and Central Asian peoples were clearly second class subjects, this newer version boasts equality of all involved parties.
This newer version also plays from the strengths of its members - Russia brings commodity wealth, an advanced world smashing military, and a certain style of play which is quite useful in dealing with Europe and North America - China brings industrial and technological might, a population of over 1 billion, money savvy, and a way of fighting that will prove an enigma to the West.
This new Empire is in its earliest infancy - most in the West cannot comprehend its ways let alone its mere existence. God help us.
This sounds like a real Khan job to me.

What are Mongolians what are the ancenster they not Chinese not at all ES look at your history
Disclosure - I am a descendent of both some of the Western Slavs who fought the Mongols, as well as a descendent of some of the Eastern Slavs and hence, the Mongols.
LOL!!
KHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm probably part Mongolian.
They can't have him. According to Jawn Carey he is like us!
Hey I might be part Mongolian I am 1/4 Russian LOL!
They would decree whatever is 'theirs' and hence colonization would take place...
Anyone who argued was screwed.
Check out my new tag line...
Not surprising that they would try & claim him. I think they must seem him as a role model. Perhaps they are just attempting to make a political statement.
That is indeed a cool tag line!
There is a somewhat fictional book about Marco Polo and his journeys in china/tibet/indochina/india. He tells of the "fondler" : if you got a 100 day sentence from the Khan it meant the fondler had to keep you alive for 100 days as he took you apart one nerve at a time : maximum torture. Then Marco found out how to make explosives transportable(formerly they had to be mixed on-site and used immediately). Thus they used bombs to create a landslide on 2 sides of a valley to bury the sung army. They first suited up tibetans(expendable nothings to the mongols)in mongol uniforms, marched them into the valley floor; sungs pounced on them : blow the cliffs and bury the whole bunch. Typical oriental method of war..... Then the Khan sent Marco to india to find the Tooth of Buddha and see if it was worth conquering. He looked around there : too many languages, peoples = not worth it. Only later they conquered part of india. Ironically, it was the mongols that stopped the islamic wave from moving into asia. They weren't PC, they knew how to chop off islamic heads by the pile-ful. In fact, their horse-polo game originally used islamic heads as the "ball". As to Ghengis Khan being chinese, that's a joke. A parallel would be rome conquering greece : military rulers adopting the local cultural elements that were useful to them, but still ROMAN.
China: We have an illustrious history of revision!
I like your tagline ROFL
The Chinese continue to invent reasons why they are the rightful owners of all of Asia... Adopting Genghis Khan is one way of saying that they have a claim to everything he ever conquered.
It is the "Com" part of the ChiComs. Communists. The most vile of political animals.
