This quote from Strayer's, Ways of the World explains how the Mongols destroyed most of China's environment, and what kept China strong, its economy and technology. Once China went back to the Ming Dynasty, it returned to its former glory and made the economy flurish. The reason why the Mongols were a negative force to those who they conquered, China specifically is because their political system was messy, it ruined the technology & environment, on top of that it also created rebellions and civil dissatisfaction.

The collapse of the mongols rule during fourteenth and fifteenth centuries created an environment in which new states and empires emerged and revived older cultural and political traditions. Mongols turned the country(china) into pastureland for mongol herds. Also helped with accommodation to Chinese culture and ways of governing. Mongols Improved roads, built canals, lowered some taxes, patronized scholars and artists, limited the death penalty and torture, supported peasant agriculture, and prohibited mongols from grazing their animals on peasants' farmland. They would also make use of traditional confusion rituals, and supported the building of some daoist temple.
