Yuan was founded by Kublai Khan not Ghengis Khan and certainly not established in the same way as the territories of Ghengis or the other great Khans. Some of the genetic, anthropological and historical ‘knowledge’ in this thread is comedy gold.

....which is why I said:
Emphasis on the word "basically". Kublai founded Yuan but he did it using the empire that Ghengis created. Without going to Wikipedia to double check, Kublai was Ghenghis ...er....grandson? In any case, no Ghengis, no Yuan dynasty. Kublai never created the war machine. He only inherited it. He was, perhaps, the greater statesman but, IMHO, not so much of a conqueror (by comparison anyways)(Yuan is basically Ghengis Khan)

You post the wrong video by mistake?
That's in Qinghai. It's northern China at least but not Mongolia and not Mongolian. That's a Hui area.
I was thinking, more like this:

Not really keen for an all out history nerd battle but in short, Kublai was nothing much at all like Genghis Khan and he did not follow the established practice of wiping out the population of defeated cities, nor promote rape and general pillage. He assimilated to such a degree and placed so much importance on reunifying and ruling China that he never even formally controlled Mongolia during his life. Even the warfare tactics he used were nothing much like his grandfather's, neither was the structure of his government or military so I don't know about inheriting his war machine either...
When you have a steppe people invading a city/state apparatus, the invader, will over time absorb the habits of that city/state apparatus. It has never failed!
When the Qing invaded from Manchuria, they became that city/state and their lifestyle changed accordingly. Perhaps the outside regiments and their supports retained the steppe warrior psyche and ethos but essentially the same happened when the the Turkic tribes invaded and conquered Byzantium. They pillaged, raped and became the force. Magyar tribes became present day Hungary!
