Great comments and knowledge about Mongolia.

Fellow Mongolians: I compared your comments with those from other countries. They seem to be more knowledgeable about the history and the way they justify their comments and views is impressive. Let’s learn LOL.

Wow, great discussion about Chinggis Khan. Most of you have good knowledge about Mongolia and China. What true history is, Chinggis khan’s grandson Khubilai moved the capital of Great Mongol Empire from Kharkhorin (today’s Mongolian territory) to Beijing in order to execute the vast territory of Empire. Main communication channel in 13th century was “Ortoo” that Ogodei, Chingis’ son came up with, establishing small units where postman can take rest and change the horses. Communication was so important to rule the big empire and I think this is one of the reasons why Khubilai moved the capital city to China, which is the fact later interpreted by Chinese “he is chinese”. But not only Chinese, but also Japanese and Koreans compete for Chingis khan as their hero.
For Mongolians, Chinggis Khan is their great father and leader and southeast asians are looking ways to relate themselves with Chinggis because he established the second biggest empire (after British empire) in the world, but in Arab world, he is not well respected, they simply hate Chinggis…

Gengis Khan is of course Chinese.

If somehow Julius Ceasar reached China he would be a chinese too.

You see, that’s the beauty of chinese philosophy: Much of the world convert (or annihilate, red indians comes to mind) others by defeating them, but chinese convert others by being defeated by them. LOLOL

The sole exception was Japan, whom the chinese traditionally believed was a splintered group of Chinese that somehow hated their motherland. So there wasn’t any need to assert that they are chinese because… traditionally they are! LOLOL

As for Korean, they have been civilized and come to Qufu for pilgrimage every year so that’s fine, they can call themselves whatever they like. LOLOL

The irony of history is that the concept of nationalism and ethnicism is created a bunch of europeans (rulers, at least) that are so close in bloodline that they might as well have been one family. China, who throughout its histories have absorbed so many different bloodline that it’s impossible nowadays to claim oneselve as a “pure” Chinese (the very concept of Chinese a western one, in any case), never came up with that notion.

Wonder why… maybe too much similarity created the need to differentiate?

And if I could remember the Norwegian word for Mr, I’d use it: Matt with the long Italian S surname: absolutely. Trouble is, ethnicity and nationality are constantly being confused, as the huaqiao example that I’m sure somebody mentioned shows perfectly, and ethnicity is a rather dubious concept, anyway (what makes you ethnically half-Norwegian and me ethnically Scots-Irish? Looking at the real history of northern Europe, there hasn’t been much difference between Viking and Gael for a hell of a long time), so we’re all condemned to constant confusion and eternal cumbersome explanations.

Singor Waugh,

Indeed, Georgia was part of the Russian empire so I stand corrected.

I suppose everyone will just have to utilize the cumbersome explanations that ethnicity and nationality are separate concepts. For instance, I’m ethnically Italian and Norwegian (50/50) but am an American national, so I could describe myself accurately as any of the above.
