   But Genghis Khan is not Chinese, but Mongol.

   Genghis Khan is the representative of these cattle-raising, horse  
riding peoples of the steppes, who again and again raided the  
agricultural centres of China, and also West Asia and Europe. The  
poeples against whose menace the Chinese have built the Great Wall.

   It is this conflict which has determined -- to a large extent --  
Chinese history. Of course, once the steppe peoples had conquered  
China, they had to begin producing, and producing by the means  
available there, and got assimilated.
