Historian Frank McLynn, author of the biography 'GENGHIS KHAN His Conquests, His Empire, His Legacy': DA CAPO PRESS Copyright 2015, may have correctly isolated the origins and the term of Manchurian Candidates.

Mongols were comprised of many tribes. One of those tribes were Manchurians ( broken into several specific tribes) who comprised a large part of what Genghis Khan assembled into the unified nation of Mongols. Many Manchurians went into China and integrated themselves into Chinese society, military and government offices as well as trade. Of these Manchurians, many hated the ruling 'Jin Dynasty' of Northern China and were constantly working to undermine the Jin and corrupting the Chinese society around them. ( Much like today's Marxist Democrat party )

When Genghis Khan launched his attacks on the Jin of China, he enlisted many of these Manchurian Candidates to provide intelligence, sabotage, corruption and treason. See pages 177 - 185. Specifically,he names them as Manchurian candidates on page 178.

I hope this is of help to you in sourcing the origins of the mindset and activities of the term.
