This Chinese 'academic' claims that the Russian empire was more violent than the ancient Chinese empire. It was China that was completely taken over by the Mongols in 1271. The Yuan dynasty was the Mongol-Chinese empire that sought to plunder other countries' wealth as a means to enrich itself. Today's China closely resembles the Mongol-Chinese empire under President Xi. Russia only started minor border wars to punish Chechen and Ukrainian bandits under President Putin.
The Mongol Yuan dynasty became the first conquest dynasty in Chinese history to rule the entire China proper and its population as an ethnic minority. The dynasty also directly controlled the Mongol heartland and other regions, inheriting the largest share of territory of the eastern Mongol empire, While the Mongol rulers of the Yuan dynasty adopted substantially to Chinese culture, their sinicization was of lesser extent compared to earlier conquest dynasties in Chinese history. For preserving racial superiority as the conqueror and ruling class, traditional nomadic customs and heritage from the Mongolian Steppe were held in high regard.
The Yuan dynasty was formally proclaimed in 1271, when the Great Khan of Mongol, Kublai Khan, one of the grandsons of Genghis Khan, assumed the additional title of Emperor of China, and considered his inherited part of the Mongol Empire as a Chinese dynasty. In the preceding decades, the Mongols had conquered the Jin dynasty in Northern China, and the Southern Song dynasty fell in 1279 after a protracted and bloody war. Before the Mongol invasion, there were approximately 120 million inhabitants; after the conquest had been completed in 1279, the 1300 census reported roughly 60 million people.
