The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is attempting to erase the Mongol emperor Genghis Khan from Chinese history according to a report this weekend by human rights magazine Bitter Winter.
Genghis Khan founded the Mongolian Empire in 1206. It was the largest contiguous land empire in world history at its peak, spanning roughly nine million square miles of territory from the Pacific Ocean in the east to the Danube River in the west. During Genghis Khan’s reign, the Mongolian Empire posed a serious challenge to China’s powerful Jin dynasty.

Xi Ping: We don't know who Genghis Khan was.
World in 200 years: Never heard of Xi Ping, but we still know who Genghis Khan was.
How does Xi the Pooh know he’s not a descendant of GK himself?
Every single day, I have more evidence I am living in a George Orwell novel.
Great, now do Obama.

Rulers who attempt to erase history reveal their weakness of character.
this is almost as if winnie the pooh has decreed it so...
wait, winnie the pooh *has* decreed it so!

How very Mao of him!
There are no positives in denying history. Our own educational system has been systematically rewriting history and the effect has been disastrous.
Supposedly the 2nd worst John Wayne movie ever made.
They say he was so pissed off about having to do the movie (Studios had huge control over actors in those days!), he did it drunk.
Another apocryphal story about the movie was it was dusted by a 1950s above ground atomic test. Many of the stars & others in the film later died or had problems with cancer.
The West tends to deem him a savage while forgetting that this was the Middle Ages - a time where the value of human life was very little. In my book, Genghis is #1 when it comes to military leaders. The Mongols were usually greatly out-numbered by their opponents and won by devising brilliant strategy and tactics that continue to be taught at War Colleges all over the world. I also use to work with a former Drill Instructor who taught at a War College and he had Genghis #1 and then Napoleon. He also said that Genghis was from another planet when it came to common sense and intelligence.
What do you mean was?
Next thing will be that the American Civil War never happened.
Thanks for the John Wayne GIF. Even if we have to forget Genghis Khan, can we still make references to the Tartar Woman?
I didn’t know Xi Jinping was a democrat
Ghenghis had prolific sons, too
In bourgeois society, therefore, the past controls the present; in communist society, the present controls the past.No; comes straight out of the Communist Manifesto.
