Well, "Genghis" and "Khan" are both romanisations, which (while pretty inaccurate, particularly "Genghis") aren't particularly far away from how we usually romanise classical/ancient/antiquated naming conventions.
French museum closes Genghis Khan exhibit over Chinese museums demands not to use words Genghis Khan

Wh...bu...? Everybody knows already, China...everybody knows! China? Can someone please tell China that everybody knows? You can't just whip this one back under the rug, the very walls and foundational pillars are made from this knowledge!
However, if you really must insist, then i suggest the museum turn their focus on the history of Winnie the Pooh instead. Who would have anything against a tribute to such a wholesome children's entertainment?

Everyone knows now, but push enough influence and people may change.
India only changed the name of Bombay to Mumbai about 20-30 years ago, and already we've adopted it in the West pretty much wholesale - that's how quick it can be (although as far as I can tell from a holiday in India, the Indians still pronounce it Bombay - go figure). China as we have mostly clearly seen, is very keen on encouraging the world to view China only in the way China wants to be viewed.
France, can you kindly tell China to fuck off? China, people know Genghis Khan exist. He still in wiki articles, documents, and plenty of history books. Why the fuck do you even care? That is something you can't erase. No matter how hard you try. There was a game that came out months ago that has one of his grandchildren as the main villain. So sit down, shut up, and stop being "offended". If anything, this almost making me want to root for Khan and his descendants right now.

Welp, there's ya problem.
Next time they should try collab with a mongolian museum instead.
You make a good point. Maybe China is in moral right, cancelling this nasty dead ruler.
Actually this is the way France told China to fuck off. China didn't want the exhibit closed; they wanted it changed to fit a different portrayal of the Mongol culture to the one France originally prepared with the collaboration of Inner Mongolia Museum in Hohhot. It wasn't just that they wanted "Genghis Kahn" renamed; China wanted the exhibit to fit their latest propaganda stunt against ethnic Mongolians.

I bet you the authorities will be replacing the senior management of that museum fairly soon, if they haven't already. Mind you, they've been doing that sort of thing in Poland and Hungary, too.
They can if they get enough control of culture and influence over other nations.
Remember when the UK did this. An America still does. Remember all the atrocities those guys commited while pretending history said others.
One war criminal country is enough thanks
The difference is that the UK and US governments allow even their own people to disagree with the government line, and leave open all sorts of channels of information to spread that disagreement. Our very ability to voice the sort of crticism you have there is because we've been allowed to investigate, discuss, and reflect on the sins of our states: otherwise we'd all be parrotting mindless jingoism.
China is not like that.
Difference being that the shit China is doing is shit that's going on right now. Meanwhile, the UK has soft-power at best right now, and even that's debatable in the wake of Brexit.
Imagine this but times a billion, and you have Pax-Sinica(China ruling the world)
But sure let's vote for Biden who was Xi''s friends, and supports engagement, let's let Harris be the next president with her state doing the most trade with China, and let's vote for all those dem congresspeople,
Great idea.

It's not a superiority complex, it's a self-esteem issue. Xi is literally very insecure according to Dr. Scissors of AEI. Funny enough I have the same issues, but I respond to those by debating people. Xi kills people and puts people in concentration camps.
I don't know, but I'm just saying these are the guys complaining about western imperialism while their liberation army goes around invading nations with Russian hand-me-downs.
LOL recent memory. Love your qualifier there.
Tibet, South Korea, and Vietnam as well as India recently, and back then. Even Russia and in the 1960s -2000s.
I think India recently. And yes I know when they invade nations they usually refer themselves as the People's Volunteer Army, but who are they fooling.
