With a POD no earlier than 1368, how likely is it that the Yuan Dynasty, or any Mongol Dynasty can again rule all, or most of China?
Before ruling it out offhand, note that there were far more organized Tumans (self contained armies of approximately 10,000 horsemen) in existence in 1368 than in 1200 when Genghis Khan began his conquest. And that the Manchus who overthrew the Ming Dynasty in 1644 were the direct descendants of the Jurchens who had ruled Northern China as the Jin Dynasty, so a "restoration" of a fallen dynasty does have some precedent.
Since I have not included a poll, please feel free to rate the plausibility by analogy, except using that mammal which shall not be named!
How plausible would you say is the establishment of another Mongol Dynasty Post-1368? And how might it occur?
