Kublai Khan changed China's government primarily by reducing the power of scholar-officials. He established a new administrative system that favored Mongols and other non-Chinese people for positions of power, diminishing the traditional Confucian bureaucratic structure dominated by Chinese scholar-officials. This shift was part of his broader strategy to consolidate control over China and create a stable government during the Yuan Dynasty.
