Genghis Khan is a conflicting character in China, if at the time when Genghis Khan invaded China, he was likely hated. Nowadays he is like Alexander the Great to the Greeks, despite being a conqueror he is more respected.

There is some nuances to it, apparently.

About 1 in 12 Chinese are direct descendants of Genghis Khan, maybe that biases the polls.
