Yup. And while this is obviously easier to do when you're the winner, it's not a requirement.

Most of the records of the Mongols outclassing China over such a long period of time comes from Chinese writings, for example.

People love believing blanket, black and white statements. History is written by the victors, nobody else, I know this because it's a Churchill quote, it has to be true!
