he did. they served as his advisers.
Kublai Khan, as the Mongol ruler of China, aimed to maintain Mongol supremacy and control over the diverse population. He believed that placing Chinese in important government roles could lead to a loss of authority and potentially incite rebellion, as the Chinese had a long history of sophisticated governance and cultural identity. By favoring Mongols and other non-Chinese groups for high positions, Kublai sought to ensure loyalty and reinforce the Mongol elite's dominance in his administration. This strategy was also part of a broader approach to integrate but distinguish the Mongol rule from Chinese traditions.
Kublai Khan did not actually kill his brother, Ariq Böke; rather, their conflict arose during a civil war for control of the Mongol Empire after Genghis Khan's death. This rivalry led to a series of battles between their respective factions. Ultimately, after Ariq Böke's defeat, he was captured, and while Kublai offered him a position of power, Ariq Böke chose to commit suicide instead of submitting to Kublai's rule.
Kublai Khan had three brothers, Mongke Khan, Ariq Boke, and Hulagu Khan.

Kublai Khan tolerated Chinese culture and made few changes to the system of government.
Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler of China, chose not to give important government jobs to the Chinese primarily to maintain Mongol dominance and control over the region. He believed that appointing Mongols to key positions would ensure loyalty to his rule and prevent potential rebellion. Additionally, Kublai sought to establish a distinct Mongol identity within the administration, which he felt could be compromised by integrating too many Chinese officials into the government. This policy contributed to tensions between the Mongol ruling class and the native Chinese population.
The most famous European to serve in the Kublai government was probably Marco Polo (1254-1324). In the book, The Travels of Marco Polo, Polo is said to have served as a government official under the Mongolian ruler of China, Kublai Khan.According to the book, Polo served under Kublai Khan for two decades; however, scholars disagree on the truthfulness of The Travels of Marco Polo, as Polo may have collected stories he heard from other travelers and passed them off as his own.It is possible that Polo actually served under Kublai Khan; Kublai was visited by several Europeans during his reign in China.
He did not trust the Chinese people.
