Mongolians aren't particularly tall from what I've noticed. The actual data seems to show they are shorter than their Northern Chinese neighbors. The stereotype from China is that they are bigger, but this stems from them being stockier at the same height.

This is literally true. Sikhs are often thought of as a tall people, and they are relative to India. Actual measured heights recorded are unimpressive. Most historical interaction of non subcons with Sikhs historically mediated through British army, who selected for height.
