I think that Warhead might have had something to say about that before...
Yuan in reality did not control most of the other khanates, and it's debatable if that would make China necessarily the most militarily powerful even so (as it would probably be considered credit for the Mongols). Influencewise and relative to the world I would say that it was during the Tang.

I did make the comparison in this thread: http://www.chinahist...showtopic=25120
Not to mention, for most of Yuan, starting from 1306 onwards, the Delhi Sultanate could rival it in both population and productivity, just like how the Roman Empire rivaled the Han even if the former might not have been nearly as powerful.
