China’s People’s Daily Online
reports that a noted Mongolian studies expert claims that “two thirds
of the people who claim Mongolian descent in China came from tribes
governed by Khasar, the brother of ancient Mongolian emperor Chinggis
Khaan.”
Khasar is regarded by Mongolians as one of the greatest
statesman and militarists in Mongolian history. Official statistics
show that today’s Mongolian population in China is 5.8 million, and 3.7
million of them are living in the regions once governed by Khasar.
However the article does not divulge any other facts to prove that
these people are direct descendants from Khasar’s area of rule. Other
previous studies have shown that around 15 million people in Asia are
all descendants of one person, which many believe to be Chinggis.
