If you read Power And Plenty, and other similar accounts of the so called Pax Mongolica, you get the impression of benevolent enlightened helpful friendly Mongol Khans, the kind of people that the Chinese now ostensibly are becoming, joining the commonwealth of enlightened nations in a spirit of hope and global unity. They want to make The South China Sea, and elsewhere in Asia, Eurasia, and Africa, safe for all of us to trade freely and openly. Call it The Pax Sinica.
