How many time was ancient China conquered?

Ancient China faced numerous invasions and conquests throughout its long history, with significant events including the Mongol conquest in the 13th century, which led to the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty. Various other nomadic groups, such as the Xiongnu and the Manchus, also invaded and established control at different times. However, China often absorbed these invaders, integrating them into its culture rather than being permanently conquered in a traditional sense. Overall, while there were many invasions, the concept of total conquest varied in its impact and permanence.
