China has a love-hate relationship with
what is foreign. Traditionally all people beyond the Great Wall were barbarians
- only part human. But invaders have sometimes been welcomed, in time, into the
Chinese family. One was Kublai Khan who famously owns 5,000
mastiff dogs.

In the 13th Century, no-one knew how big the
world was so it was not so wild for the Mongols to set off from the grassland
with the idea that they were going to conquer all of it.
