    A Chinese-centric person has a lot of hogwash like those Afro-centric or White-centric people!

    Sounds like it. I know Chinese supremacy propaganda can be wacky but this guy must be, like, permanently high on communist opium to believe any of the shit he's spouting.

    It has international in the name ("China International Frontier Education Summit") but actually seems like a chinese circlejerk convention held in china.

    This dude'll probably get some bonus social credits for this bullshit.

    I have a better of a chance taking the word of reputable historians and linguists over the guy mentioned in the article.

    Well, in a sense his words do hold some relevance to some degree, Genghis Khan for example did have 500 wives from around the world and about 0.5% of the current world's male population are his descendants... so I won't say the guy is looney at least

    This guy is a scholar?

    How can there be myths and legends without people? How can there be people without history?

    If his job is to think then he clearly has 7 days off a week...
