Especially for chinese, koreans and other East Asians the frequency of that chromosome is pretty much zero. The cultural background of Mongols is the nomads of the steppes of Central Asia, while chinese korean or japanese are east asian peasant people. The term Mongoloid has little or no ethnical or cultural connection with the Mongols of Central Asia, in other words being an Asian or so called 'Mongoloid' doesn't make you a Mongol or a descendant of Mongols. 8% of Central Asians have Chinggis Khaan’s Y chromosome, not 8% of all Asians.
