Did Kublai Khan's army consist largely of Mongol warriors or native Chinese?

It certainly consisted mostly of Chinese. Even at the time of initial invasions, Mongol armies did not consists of Mongol warriors, but mostly of the peoples conquered earlier. For example in East Europe, Mongol armies were caller Tatars. Tatar is the name of a tribe conquered by Mongols on an early stage (and according to Mongol chronicles, completely exterminated, which is evidently not true). Conquered Slavs made parts of Mongol armies everywhere. Original Mongols were a tiny fraction of their armies.
