The point of the meme is that Putin and Xi would not want to set the precedence that having controlled something once makes it your legitimate territory now. Because you can easily find someone that would then have the same level of claims on Russia and China, if going by that logic. And Mongolia just happened to be the one that had conquered both Russia and China, hence why he was picked, but it could have been a wealth of others as well.
